Hi @Andrey.Borodin, With some considerations and performance checks from
@Yura.Sokolov we simplified your approach by the following:

1. Preamble. We feel free to increase any SLRU's, since there's no
performance degradation on large Buffers count using your SLRU buckets
solution.
2. `slru_buffers_size_scale` is only one config param introduced for all
SLRUs. It scales SLRUs upper cap by power 2.
3. All SLRU buffers count are capped by both `MBuffers (shared_buffers)`
and `slru_buffers_size_scale`. see
4. Magic initial constants `NUM_*_BUFFERS << slru_buffers_size_scale`
are applied for every SLRU.
5. All SLRU buffers are always sized as power of 2, their hash bucket
size is always 8.

There's attached patch for your consideration. It does gather and
simplify both `v21-0001-Make-all-SLRU-buffer-sizes-configurable.patch`
and `v21-0002-Divide-SLRU-buffers-into-8-associative-banks.patch` to
much simpler approach.

Thank you, Yours,
