Take a look at [1]. Is is a patch for a new infrastructure in the kernel
for notifying user processes that free memory is getting low.
It might be merged in 2.6.25 or we could apply it to the OpenMoko kernel
if necessary until it is merged.

I like the concept :-). Actually I am developing in Java (this is the
project's page: http://yamamap.wiki.sourceforge.net/) so it will not be
easy to interface with the kernel. I will have to write a JNI wrapper
library at least. It would be too early now, but later I will consider
to use this technology. The knowledge will be handy in other projects as
well :-).

so thats what is paged in and needed in ram
other than buffers/cache. the rest is available (so lets say 90-95m) is what
you'd get.
The system that was dumped by Werner Almesberger uses a bit more memory
(ceratinly we don't know what application he was using :-)).
I could summarize that planning with use of 40-60M of memory seems not
to be too optimistic.
Thanks for all replies!
