I need to get caught up on this thread, but I did promise Balbir at
the mini-summit that I would appear soon-ish with actual use-cases on
this from some of the CGL folks.  Specifically the case I was thinking
of, other than the CGL requirement for VM Strict Overcommit, was finer
grained rlimit accounting.  It started out in the Collaboration Summit
meeting in Austin as a discussion about the SCOPE gaps document and
CGOS-4.5 (curiously called Coarse Resource Enforcement, when it's
really trying to address per-thread limits).

The full document is here in PDF form:

I'm suspecting now, though, that after re-reading the requirement from
SCOPE and the memrlimit discussion, they may in fact be disjoint sets
of functionality.
