Log:
  Treat a 'current' value of 0 as unlimited as a failsfe.
  
  When limiting I/O, a value of 0 makes no sense as a limit. No progress
  can be made. Trade the possibility that someone might be doing
  something clever to achieve ultra-low I/O limits vs the damage of not
  ever making progress on an I/O in favor of making progress. Now the
  machine won't be useless if this accidentally gets requested.
