Presumably you'd want the same smaller size in both active and 
purgeable? Or you can end up with more in those two than in rss which 
would look odd.

Also, alternative to adding a new callback could be adding multiple 
output parameters to the existing obj->func->status() which maybe ends 
up simpler due fewer callbacks?

Like:

  s = obj->funcs->status(obj, &supported_status, &rss)

And adjust the code flow to pick up the rss if driver signaled it 
supports reporting it.
