I've pushed them this morning; would love to get additional comments on
whether people think the new requests need some kind of signal that
they're avaialble. I know it's easy to say 'yes, of course, just in
case', but does anyone know of a system which supports SysV shared
memory and which does *not* support file descriptor passing of mmap'able
files? Not requiring applications do multiple levels of checks for
features seems like it will simplify application adoption of this new
mechanism as applications could support *only* the new requests instead
of having to support both.
