Why?

By definition, nothing can be destroying caches at the moment because there
is no way of doing it. So how does adding a function to do this require
changes to all users?

And furthermore by definition, with my suggested scheme nobody will
_need_ to explicitly destroy a cache. So my fix allowed everyone to
just work with the module unload/reload case with no changes to
anything outside of SLAB.

I thought I had made this explicit in my original email, perhaps not.
