As I recall, oom_adj wasn't visible in the container because you
explicitly set what proc entries processes can have access to when using
VServers, and OpenSSH didn't handle that cleanly.  Guess what I'm just
saying is "don't just assume everything is as it would be on a 'normal'
system when dealing with /proc and friends", and, of course, test, test,
test when you're talking about back-porting things.
