I can't imagine that Tejun would be happy with a new mount option,
especially when it's not required.

OOM behavior does not need to be defined at mount time and for the entire
hierarchy. It's possible to very easily implement a tunable as part of
mem cgroup that is propagated to descendants and controls the oom scoring
behavior for that hierarchy. It does not need to be system wide and
affect scoring of all processes based on which mem cgroup they are
attached to at any given time.
