Comment (by axeld):
It actually does support overcommitting, but it does so only where it
makes sense. It's not helpful to let an allocation succeed when the system
has no means to make it work (instead of failing early on, such an
application would then just crash later on).
IOW it's not a current limitation, it's the way all sane operating systems
work :-)
