I ported the 2.4 OOM killer about half year ago to 2.2, available for 2.2.19 kernel at http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/reserved_root_memory.html
Note, since it's activated in page fault handler that is architecture dependent, the current patch works only on x86 (the only one I could test). If one is interested in other archs, let me know.
