Would this complexity /really/ be worth it for the twice-yearly OOM
situation?

the only reason i suggested this was the init=/bin/bash, 4MB
RAM, no swap emergency-bootup case. We must not kill init in
that case - if the current code doesnt then great and none of
this is needed.

I guess this requires some testing. If anybody can reproduce
the bad effects without going /too/ much out of the way of a
realistic scenario, the code needs to be fixed.

If it turns out to be a non-issue in all scenarios, there's
no need to make the code any more complex.

Rik
