Maybe it makes sense to implement something like PRESSURE_MILD with an
additional nr_pages threshold, which basically hits the kernel about how
many easily reclaimable pages userland has (that would be a part of our
definition for the mild pressure level). So, essentially it will be

	if (pressure_index >= oom_level)
		return PRESSURE_OOM;
	else if (pressure_index >= med_level)
		return PRESSURE_MEDIUM;
	else if (userland_reclaimable_pages >= nr_reclaimable_pages)
		return PRESSURE_MILD;
...or we can call it PRESSURE_BALANCE, just to be precise and clear.
