From: Alexey Dobriyan Despite mm.h is not being exported header, it does contain one thing which is part of userspace ABI -- value disabling OOM killer for given process. So, a) create and export include/linux/oom.h b) move OOM_DISABLE define there. c) turn bounding values of /proc/$PID/oom_adj into defines and export them too. Note: mass __KERNEL__ removal will be done later.
