Hmm. Any task is allowed to set its oom_score_adj that way and I
guess we should really make sure that at least sysrq+f will make some
progress. This is what I would do. Again I think this is worth a
separate patch. Unless there are any objections I will roll out what I
have and post 3 separate patches.
