qemuProcessLaunch() is the correct place to set process limits, and in fact is where we were dealing with almost all of them, but the memory locking limit was handled in qemuBuildCommandLine() instead for some reason. The code is rewritten so that the desired limit is calculated and applied in separated steps, which will help with further changes, but this doesn't alter the behavior.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
