I am thinking about making those are tunable, so people could have a big pool
depends on their workloads.

Also, I would like to see a way to refill this emergency pool. For example, once
OOM kiler freed up more memory. Maybe at the time of kmemleak_scan kthread
kicked in and then monitor and refill the pool whenever possible.
