[PATCH] NOMMU: Make SYSV IPC SHM use ramfs facilities on NOMMU
The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.
The following changes are made:
(1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
code.
(2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.
(3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.
