Remove OPEN_MAX
The OPEN_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there. It claims to be the limit on file descriptors in a process, but its value is wrong for that. There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). Nothing in the kernel uses OPEN_MAX except things that are wrong to do so. I've submitted other patches to remove those uses. The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define OPEN_MAX at all. The sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.
