Subject: [patch 11/14] powerpc: invoke oom-killer from page fault

From: [email-masked]
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:06:24 +1000

As explained in commit 1c0fe6e3bd, we want to call the architecture independent
oom killer when getting an unexplained OOM from handle_mm_fault, rather than
simply killing current.
