IMO, the operation you implemented would be better named 'mwrite'
and it makes sense while you're at it to add 'mread' counterpart.

It might have been nice to have 'mmap'/'munmap' commands
which actually maintain a set of files on which mwrite/mread acts
upon, similarly to the relation between creat/unlink and the rest of
the file ops.

This could actually allow to stress test concurrent access the shared memory
between processes, but it is going to be a lot more work...
So for now mwrite/mread imply mmap+mwrite/mread+munmap
