I can't imagine that these are allocated left and center... it should
pretty much be mount and nothing else. So yes, it's some more
complexity but not really significant.
2^20 bits = 128K, which falls in the "it's a bit on the expensive side,
but doable" class.
Fixed limits suck. And yes, I'm also guilty of having put them in in
the past. They still suck.
