Dropping patches for making a cleanup (if it's a cleanup) sounds a bit strange. Anyway, there is a good chance that current cgroup-aware OOM killer implementation will be replaced by a lightweight version (memory.oom.group). Please, take a look at it, probably your cleanup will not conflict with it at all. Thanks!
