I have no objection to adding virtual limit itself.
(It can be considered as extended ulimit.)

But if you'd like to add relationship between virtual-limit/memory-usage-limit,
please take care to make it clear that relationship is reaseonable.

- memory-usage includes page-cache.
- memory-usage doesn't include hugepages.
- How to treat MAP_NORESERVE is depends on over-commit-memory type.
  how cgroup does ?
- shared memory will be conuted per mmap.
