The patch will be added, after testing, I hope.
In a case jail it was necessary for memory size restriction.
I do not think that in a kernel it is necessary to add possibility of 
definition of the size of memory occupied with any group of processes.

Easier to count memory as conclusion parsing pmap 
(/usr/ports/sysutils/pmap/) output for several processes.
