If we implement Dan's idea of a percentage for some of the resource

we can keep a misbehaving zone in check.
Wouldn't this lead to a waste of resources on systems with only one
non-global zone? It may not be the most common setup, but still makes a
lot of sense for a higher level of security.
No, since this is only a cap, not a partitioning of resources, so everything
is still shared.
Because it's a cap, if it's 50% then a single zone that wants to use 6GB of an
8GB system can't. Even if the global zone (incl kernel) uses 1GB, 1GB is wasted.
