For Fedora Workstation, the current limit on mlock()ed memory per

is 64kiB, which less than what some applications need.
In particular, Bitcoin Core uses mlock() to prevent private keys from
being swapped to disk. The total size of the wallet keys can exceed 300kB.
Audio is another use case that uses mlock() to prevent skips. Fedora
already has special cases for some apps such as jack, which it gives 4GB.
Note that there is a bug in Gnome Terminal [1] that overrides the
ulimit settings (e.g. for jack), which may be unknown to some.
