/*
 * The cache policy decides what background work should be performed,
 * such as promotions, demotions and writebacks. The core cache target
 * is in charge of performing the work, and does so when it sees fit.
 *
 * The background_tracker acts as a go between. Keeping track of future
 * work that the policy has decided upon, and handing (issuing) it to
 * the core target when requested.
 *
 * There is no locking in this, so calls will probably need to be
 * protected with a spinlock.
