yes, bigger than I expected.

I see. Maybe I have to separate this to 2 or 3 stages.

yes, this is big change. And I'll cut out usable part ;)
Maybe I'll drop most of changes in patch 6's heuristics part.
(but selection of baseline for LOWMEM is not so bad.)

What I want in early stage is
  - fix for mempolicy. (we need to pass nodemask)
  - swap counting (regardless of oom)
  - low_rss counting (if admited...)
  - fork-bomb detector

Let me think how to make patch set small and easy to test.
