"earlyoom is just polling"?

> systemd-oomd periodically polls PSI statistics for the system and those cgroups to decide when to take action.

It's unclear if the docs for systemd-oomd are incorrect or misleading; I do see from the kernel.org link that the recommended usage pattern is to use the `poll` system call, which in this context would mean "not polling", if I understand correctly.
