Yes I know the change is in sorry.  Hopefully we can resolve that
issue first before this gets committed.

As far as multi-app goes I have to have a real file handle ?
I never found out what SHARED| ANON actually means.

Finally found a thread on it :)

http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/1999-01/msg00034.html

That was a hidden test question :)

So we have three cases I think.

1.) Preallocated memory user beware if its shareable between processes.
2.) A file in tmp to allocate real shared memory.
3.) Driver Allocated but private memory.

And later people may want to add more like a surface pool.

So should I just handle the first two cases. If its pre allocated then
in join we just
use the address passed in. I think I need another variable to handle
deciding on 2 or 3.
This could be extended later to also do a pool ?
So something like.

video-allocate=shared ?
