Sure, I had thought of implementing it, paused to consider the security
implications, and then punted.
Chris, on the other point that you made regarding UGO read access to "rlimit",
the same is true of "maps" (at least sans SELinux policy), so I don't
see an issue. Certainly the map information is more security sensitive.
