I think it should be possible to deal with this from userspace.

The idea would be to keep the old cache. Then, from the new cache, if
EINTR happened before, iterate over the list of objects in the new
cache and then lookup for the old objects, then pour the stats from
the old to the new objects, then release old cache. Then only one old
cache is kept around in worst case. This needs a lookup function for
each stateful object type on the old cache based on the handle.
