wow, looking at the systemd code (even upstream), oomd is counting
pagecache as 'used' memory which is massively unfair as the kernel is
responsible for pagecache use, not userspace, and it's not even accurate
(from a OOM perspective) since the kernel will drop pagecache as memory
pressure increases.

Definitely some discussion and patching needs to happen upstream in
systemd I think.
