Unfortunately the patch is not really available right at the moment,
but I'll try to it post somewhere accessible in the near future. If you
look though the mailling list archives you'll probably find it (around
April 1998, if think).
Also those people who are using shared memory of any sort should
speak up and put their 2 cents worth in. Shared memory is an
important IPC method, and I think it's time we progressed beyond
the boot-time reservation of memory and established a more flexible
interface.
Another job is going be to make the shared memory work with 2.2
kernels which has had significant changes to the memory
management.
