Or maybe make it a configure option if Linux should over commit memory or not. In some cases it would be nice if you could be sure that the memory you got was actually there, and for those cases you could build the kernel with CONFIG_NO_MEM_OVERCOMMIT (or something like that) so that linux would simply report ENOMEM when there's no more memory.
