If you believe there is a problem with the use of MMF_UNSTABLE as it sits 
in -mm, please follow up directly in the thread that proposed the patch.  
I have seen two replies to that thread from you: one that incorporates it 
into your work, and one that links to a verison of my patch in your 
patchset.  I haven't seen a concern raised about the use of MMF_UNSTABLE, 
but perhaps it's somewhere in the 10,000 other emails about the oom 
killer.
