Would there be a way that you could have a proc interface to adjust the
sensitivity of the OOM killer so that users could raise or lower the
threshold that causes OOM killer activation? Hopefully you wouldn't get any
flak for that unless users start blaming you for their own settings :-)
Most people would just use the standard setting that you provide...but
others that felt the need could change it on their system.
