I don't want to go to the trouble of creating (and documenting) a
configure option for this. Much less a GUC ;-)
What I suggest is that we do something like
#ifdef LINUX_OOM_ADJ
...
fprintf(oom, "%d\n", LINUX_OOM_ADJ);
...
#endif
Then, somebody who wants the feature would build with, say,
-DLINUX_OOM_ADJ=0
or another value if they want that.
