Runtime File Descriptor settings

BSD/OS has the ability to automatically tune the max file descriptors per
process at runtime. I was curious if anyone was working on such a thing for
Linux.

I ask this simply because I need 1024 fd's for a single process, but not for
all processes. In fact, I want it to be capped at 256 for most processes.

That and I've heard that setting file descriptors in your kernel to 1024 or
higher wastes a heck of a lot of RAM.
