FWIW, I apparently didn't receive any.

Right now it gets run on request. Kswapd is woken up when watermarks get 
between "min" and "low" and when it finishes reclaim and it was a 
high-order request, it wakes up kcompactd, which compacts until page of 
given order is available. That mimics how it was before when kswapd did 
the compaction itself, but I know it's not ideal and plan to make 
kcompactd more proactive.
