affected by overcommit as the unused pages are all mapped with
PROT_NONE and thus do not count towards the commit limit as they
cannot be used without the mapping being changed. `ulimit -v`
(aka RLIMIT_AS) however limits the actual address space size,
and so this does count towards that (as do mmap()ed files and
other such virtual mappings that do not count towards the commit
limit).</div>
