Well, it should be easy enough to compute and automatically set the
limit from libvirt then. Unless the "constant amount per device" changes
anytime someone touches the code in QEMU or libiscsi.

For testing you could perhaps try playing with hooks and prlimit, but
forcing libvirt to lock all memory is still easier.
