But you can load a module before, "MOD_INC_USE_COUNT;" it and
install a new oom_killer (or better: OOM-Handler) that suits your
needs.
You can even install one, which restores old behavior (just
panic()) to be backward-BUG-compatible ;-)
All you need, is to apply my patch[1]. It applies cleanly against
test10-pre1 an test10-pre2.
I'll soon provide an example module, which uses my OOM-killer API
so install a new OOM killer.
