Just to be a frick'n idiot, why not just have the kernel issue messages to the kernel log when swap space becomes low, (configurable via /proc), and have a user-land daemon monitor for that, and Do The Right Thing(TM)?
Would take a lot of the OOM cruft out of the kernel, and would alloe pop-up messages, selectable kill-this-app dialogs, AI systems, whatever.
Just say:
Jan 11, 2000: kernel: VM Warning: Swap space at %90 Jan 11, 2000: kernel: VM Warning: Swap space at %95 Jan 11, 2000: kernel: VM Warning: Swap space at %98 Jan 11, 2000: kernel: VM Fatal: Swap space exhausted!
