I disagree.  Its failure mode on OOM is to degrade guest performance, _that_ is
a limitation.  OOM is absolutely something that should be immediately communicated
to userspace in a way that userspace can take action.

Heh, I think I've made it quite clear that I think it's unnecesary complexity in
KVM.  It's not a hill I'll die on, e.g. if Paolo and others feel it's the right
approach then so be it, but I really, really dislike the idea of dynamically
changing the table, KVM has a long and sordid history of botching those types
of flows/features.
