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.
