Huh? This is compeletely wrong; what you need is collecting the ones
with zero refcount (and not on shrink lists) into a private list.
*NOT* bumping the refcounts at all. And do it in your isolate thing.

Basically, that loop (sans jerking the refcount up and down) should
get moved into d_isolate().

... with this left in d_partial_shrink(). And you obviously need some way
to pass the list from the former to the latter...
