We'd like to use this function in the android low memory killer driver, so let's export it.
Why is it needed?
I _REALLY_ don't want to add any exports to any part of the kernel for the android low memory stuff. That is because it is not something that should be touching anything else, especially as numerous people disagree with what it does and how it does it.
Instead, you should be spending the time and effort to properly implement this, as has been discussed numerous times, the last one a mere few weeks ago when someone tried adding the nokia-specific low memory killer/notifier code.
So no, sorry, I will not take these patches, unless you come up with some very good justifications why.
