They are not needed.  SVR4 has "hard" and "soft" limits like BSD.  The
soft limits are the ones used for enforcement of the resources.  The
hard limits determine how big an ordinary user can set his soft
limits.

Amiga Unix sets the soft limits to fairly large numbers (16 MB for
the various memory limits) and the hard limits to "unlimited".  So
no kernel configuration is necessary to set these limits to whatever
you want.
