I recall reading some posts from last year about modularizing
ipc/*, but the project seemed to wither away. Would a modularized
SysV IPC facility allow shmfs not to require an explicit mount request
from userspace (say, a shmget would cause kmod to load shm.o, which
in turn would automatically mount shmfs)?
