I have created ipc branch at hithub and applied some of the patches
(unfortunately with many changes).
Unfortunately I have no more time to play with this stuff this week,
but I guess that it's pretty obvious from already applied patches how
should be implemented the rest.
Changes:
- created sys-utils/ipcutils.{c,h}
- renamed functions
- replaced all 'unsigned long' and 'size_t' with uint64_t
The reason why we want to read from /proc is to be robust on
systems where kernel is 64bit and userspace is 32bit. You cannot
use long or size_t for data from /sys or /proc...

... so, all around share memory should be applied/fixed. Now we need
to do the same for sem and msg stuff.
