Have a look at these two messages on the Linux kernel mailing list.
You'll want to scroll to the end of the first one.

Basically, the suggestion is that it should be possible to set resource
limits numerically with e.g. `ulimit 4 1024'. I can see how this could
be worth a lot to anyone implementing a new resource limit. Is that
difficult to implement? Would it be vaguely portable?
