A variant already exists in the Linux kernel. If you compile your kernel with magic sysrq key and didn't disable it via the proc interface (like some versions of Redhat do) you can press Alt+Shit+SysRq plus a key to get a lot of functions. if the key is "x" you'll get a menu of all possible keys. One of them gives out memory status of all proccess.
