    Oom-killer is not a tuning tool; it is an emergency measure. The
situation where the kernel launches it is similar to when init exits: it
is a situation of panic. If you can do something smart, just do it
before, because the only alternative is a power-cycle. It's like the
airbags of your car: better not run into the situation where they are
usefull, but don't remove them.
