in the AFS cache manager, volume info, vnode meta data, and
file/directory data are stored in separate classes of objects.

I think you are requesting that an arbitrary percentage of the file/dir
data cache be reserved for directory data vs file data.   The 1.5 tree
has an implementation of split cache management for segmenting
read/write vs read/only data.   Extending that to support other
classifications should not be hard.
