Using 2.3.99pre6-6, I noticed that SHMMAX has been moved to linux/shm.h and
that this file is only useable if you have __KERNEL__ defined, otherwise
the headers it includes basically blow up due to symbols such as kdev_t not
getting defined. Was this on purpose? If not, maybe we can fix this,
because otherwise app builders using shared memory and trying to honor
system boundaries are going to have some problems.

Thanks
