The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to
32k. That limit should be big enough for most use cases.
However, there are some users out there requesting for more. To satisfy
the need of those users, a new boot time kernel option "ipcmni_extend"
is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 2M. This is a 64X increase which
hopefully is big enough for them.
This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum
number of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 1k. So it is
a trade-off.
