currently soft and min are not implemented
in the (near?) future soft will become the point
at which a context will get penalized for using
more resources than allowed, at hard it will
not be allowed to use more ...
the minimum was just an idea to help userspace
to get the resource management right, but for
certain limits it might (again in the future)
make sense to 'reserve' resources, at least when
they are needed ...

yes, it makes sense to restrict that, and we
might also implement 'swap-like' behaviour in
the future ...
