Here is the patch with both problems solved:

   The module will be called floppy.o. If you want to compile it as a
   module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
 
+# Choice: oom_killer
+Classic out of memory killer
+CONFIG_OOM_KILL
+  This option enables the traditional oom_kill.c mechanism for
+  killing processes in an attempt to recover from an out-of-memory
+  condition.
+
+Panic on out of memory conditions
+CONFIG_OOM_PANIC
+  This option enables panic() to be called when a system is out of
+  memory.  This feature along with /proc/sys/kernel/panic allows a
+  different behavior on out-of-memory conditions when the standard
+  behavior (killing processes in an attempt to recover) does not
+  make sense.
+
+Kill parents that keep producing bad children  
+CONFIG_OOM_KPPID
+  This option enables an out-of-memory handler that not only attempts
+  to kill bad processes to free up memory, but also kills parents
+  that repeatedly produce bad children.
+
+  Two tunables, oom_parent_max and oom_parent_expire, will be added
+  and  to /proc/sys/vm/ to control how many children a parent is
+  allowed to have terminated, and how long between terminated children
+  before a parent is forgiven.
