I noticed 1/5 had a glitch, this is an update. It won't alter the
ordering, the other patches will still apply cleanly.

Thanks.

From: garloff@suse.de
Subject: protect-pids

This is protect-pids, a patch to allow the admin to tune the oom killer.
The tweak is inherited between parent and child so it's easy to write a
wrapper for complex apps.

I made used_math a char at the light of later patches. Current patch
breaks alpha, but future patches will fix it.
