Such an invasive patch, and completely rewrites the oom reaper.  I now 
fully understand your frustration with the cgroup aware oom killer being 
merged into -mm without any roadmap to actually being merged.  I agree 
with you that it should be dropped, not sure why it has not been since 
there is no active review on the proposed patchset from four months ago, 
posted twice, that fixes the issues with it, or those patches being merged 
so the damn thing can actually make progress.
