Ok.. that's good. I remember seeing a user_bc sometime back in the code.
I had some idea about allowing tasks to migrate across resources (bean
counters), which I think can be easily done for user space pages, if the
user limits are tracked separately.

May be its not very important now but configurable limits will help a confused
user. Even if we decide to use this number for now, a constant like
BC_DEFAULT_MEM_LIMIT is easier to read.

That sounds like a good plan.
