With regard to removing the instructions on how to disable overcommit, I
thought it would be better to simply direct people to the proper documentation,
so they can understand all the options.  But I'm not an expert in this area, so
I would be glad to put the instructions back in if that's the right thing.

With regard to the link to Red Hat, I think there is no kernel documentation on
oom_adj and oom_score.  If the manual page for malloc is going to discuss the
OOM killer, it ought to at least point to some documentation about how to tune
its behavior.

So I created a new bug for that, and now this bug depends on that one.
