 To maintain consistent system state, we should warn the user and the
 running activities of increasing memory pressure so that they can respond
 appropriately.

 Also, if actual OOM occurs and system services are killed, we may want to
 teach/notify the user that a reboot (hard or "warm") may be required to
 return the system to a consistent state.

 Alternately, we could stop the OOM killer from killing critical services.

 However, this increases the risk/annoyance posed by memory leaks in system
 services.
