Sure. One thing I'd still like to see is that crazy "again" vs "survive"
mess for x86-64 vs x86-32. I think the patch as posted will cause a new
warning on x86-32 due to "unused label 'again'" or similar.

It's totally insane that we have two different versions of the oom
handling for x86. I don't know why we do that, it's probably historical,
and I _suspect_ that the 32-bit one has gotten a lot more testing.

And not just because there have been more of the 32-bit kernels around,
but also because low-memory situations are probably more common on 32-bit
setups. But I dunno.

So I would suggest you just pick the x86-32 version of that oom handling
thing too. Unless you know some deep reason why the 64-bit one would be
superior.
