I am saying low priority jobs can use top tier memory. The only
difference is to limit them upfront (using limits) or reclaim from
them later (using min/low/soft-limit).

Most probably something new as we do want to consider unevictable
memory as well.

Tradeoff between utilization and isolation should be decided by the user/admin.
