I think I prefer counting the objects on-demand in mmu_shrink_count(),
instead of keeping track of the count. Keeping track of the count adds
complexity to the topup/alloc paths for the sole benefit of the
shrinker. I'd rather contain that complexity to the shrinker code unless
there is a compelling reason to optimize mmu_shrink_count().
IIRC we discussed this at one point. Was there a reason to take this
approach that I'm just forgetting?
