Actually, after looking at the init manpage, we don't need another
deamon. We've got init. There could be a new action called, say, nomem
to go right alongside powerfail and ctrlaltdel. While the kernel is
putting things to sleep to get the system under control, it could signal
init to run the nomem action for the current runlevel.
This sounds very simple, elegant and configurable to me.
