Yes, the stacking of limits really is tightly coupled to device-based
influence.  Hypothetically some DM target that doesn't remap to any data
devices may want to override limits... in practice there isn't a need
for this.  If that changes we can take action to accommodate it.. but I'm
definitely not interested in modifying DM core in this area when there
isn't a demonstrated need.
