Sure we do. See "struct user_struct". We limit max number of
processes, open files, signals etc.

No, rlimits are per process (although in some cases what they limit
are counted per user despite the _limits_ of those resources then
being settable per thread).
So I was just thinking that if we raise the per-mm default limits,
maybe we should add a global per-user limit to make it harder for a
user to use tons and toms of vma's.
