It can wind up being the case that depending on application usages, there
is a lot of memory "unused" (i.e. pages not yet allocated), and so memory
meters display plenty of memory still available; but all that memory has
been "reserved" by various areas and so the system may be dangerously
close to OOM. The "vmstat" tool already displays how many pages are
actually free (unreserved), we should just display this information
somehow (probably as "Reserved memory" in ActivityMonitor, and as a more
faded color in ProcessController.)
