I don't think so. Distributions are slowly moving towards v2 cgroup, where
kmem limit simply doesn't exists. And for legacy cgroup v1 lack of reclaim on kmem limit
hit wasn't a mistake but a deliberate choice. There is no clear use case for this, but
it's adds a lot complexity to the reclaim code and just looks a bit ugly.
