I'm not sure. For the second case we need to pack allocations from different
tasks/cgroups into a small number of shared pages. It means the front cache
should be really small/non-existing. For the first case we likely need a
substantial cache. Maybe we can do something really smart with scattering
the cache over multiple pages, but I really doubt.
