Note that my patch is not so much an oom() patch, as a "make it be
reasonably responsive under low memory circumstances". So as such it's not
doing the same thing your patches were doing, but complementing them.
However, your patches won't be applied unless they work well under the
"not out of memory yet, but we're under some bad pressure" case.
Also, at least one of your earlier patches caused my processes to die of
SIGBUS errors even though I actually had memory left. That's not
acceptable either.
