How does one mark it apropriately?
The commit 51b1bd2 (oom: deprecate oom_adj tunable, see below)
added it to feature-removal-schedule.txt, a patch for
Documentation/ABI has also been provided in the meantime, if i'm not
mistaken.
And there is already a patch for openssh:

oom: deprecate oom_adj tunable
/proc/pid/oom_adj is now deprecated so that that it may eventually be
removed. The target date for removal is August 2012.
A warning will be printed to the kernel log if a task attempts to use this
interface. Future warning will be suppressed until the kernel is rebooted
to prevent spamming the kernel log.
