but if I understand it correctly it is just "soft limit", not a "hard" one

By the hard limit I consider something like "maximal capacity of GDT, LDT"
or something similar, if exists.

I did (of course, I am not an expert on Plan9 kernel), and I did not find
any "hard limit" there.
However to be sure I issued my question here.
