KOSAKI, AFAIRC, you are a person who hates android low memory killer.
Why do you hate it? If it solve problems I mentioned, do you have a concern, still?
If so, please, list up.

1) it took tasklist_lock. (it was solved already)
2) hacky lowmem_deathpending_timeout
3) No ZONE awareness. global_page_state(), lowmem_minfree[] and shrink_slab interface
don't realize real memory footprint.
4) No memcg, cpuset awareness.
5) strange score calculation. the score is calculated from anon_rss+file_rss,
but oom killer only free anon_rss.
6) strange oom_score_adj overload
7) much duplicate code w/ oom_killer. we can make common helper function, I think.
8) John's fallocate(VOLATILE) is more cleaner.
