I tried to sort out all inputs coming. But before doing the next step I prefer to have tests passed. Changes you proposed are strain forward and understandable. 
Hooking in mm/vmscan.c and mm/page-writeback.c is not so easy, I need to find proper place and make adequate proposal.
Using memcg is doesn't not look for me now as a good way because I wouldn't like to change memory accounting - memcg has strong reason to keep caches.

Best Wishes,
Leonid
