I wonder if there's some magical way in which we can set any sysctl
from the kernel command line. Add sys.vm.min_free_kbytes=42 to the
command line, walk the hierarchy late in boot...
To address Mike's bug I suggest we poke a touch_softlockup_watchdog()
into the appropriate place. Presumably the loop in
lib/decompress_unlzma.c:unlzma(). The decompress code makes me cry.
