I have no way of verifying this function is doing what it is
supposed to because it's function is undocumented. I have no idea
what the front/back variables are supposed to represent, and so no
clue if they are being applied properly.

That said, it's also applying unsigned 32 bit mask variables to
signed 64 bit quantities and trying to do things like "high bit changed"
checks on the 64 bit variable. This just smells like a future
source of "large offsets don't work like we expected!" bugs.

Seems to me this function would do better to just

	memset(lim, 0, sizeof(*lim));

and then set all the non-zero fields.

Ok, so this can silently set a limit that is different to what the
caller asked to have set?

How is the caller supposed to find this out if the smaller limit
that was set is not compatible with their configuration?

i.e. shouldn't this return an error if the requested size cannot
be set exactly as specified?

Same concern about the other limits that can be trimmed to be
smaller than requested.
