Is there a kernel mechanism to force a defrag of memory?

No.

There are a few efforts (external patches) to decrease fragmentation to allow for more ease in removing memory, or allocating larger physically contiguous areas, but nothing in mainline or -mm.

Is there a particular reason you're interested?
