Limit used memory/CPU or parallel jobs

Hi,

I tried to use buildx to speed up our pipeline.
We have a huge docker-compose with many services that need to be build and our buildserver is a bit limited with memory and cpu.

Once I started using buildx to build our project with docker buildx bake -f docker-compose.yml after a while the buildserver stopped responding and it was out of memory and cpu. It had many many build processes running in parallel.

Is there any way to limit the amount of ram and cpu used or at least specify the maximum allowed parallel jobs? Right now it seems to run everything at once which seems to overwhelm our buildserver.

This should be as simple as passing on runtime options to the buildkit container, right?

Also, docker buildx build already supports --memory and other throttling flags. Mind if I make a PR to add those same options to buildx bake? The only issue is still specifying the number of parallel jobs, since simply passing on --memory would give that much to each build job, right?
