Sounds fine with me. The current behaviour isn't useful anyway.

My comment wasn't against your patch but on a suggestion (or, rather, on such suggestions in general) for putting a lot of OOM policy into the kernel. I tried to show that there can be many useful policies which are hard to implement in the kernel, even if bloat is not an issue. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
