We've tried to remove it over the period of a couple of years after
oom_score_adj was introduced. I believe we had a WARN_ON() for the first
two years and then removed it all together. A few months later, there was
a bug report because the file didn't exist and Linus insisted it be
readded because we don't break userspace.

I would absolutely love to remove oom_adj, but I'm afraid that it may not
be possible.
