Ok, I don't have anything against ignoring guest setrlimit completely, so

When running 32-bit guest on 64-bit host setrlimit guest calls that
affect memory resources (RLIMIT_{AS,DATA,STACK}) don't always make sense
as is. They may result in QEMU lockup because mprotect call in
page_unprotect would fail with ENOMEM error code, causing infinite loop
of SIGSEGV. E.g. it hap
