Probably - I asked Keith for test code for the MIT-SHM fd passing on IRC,
and he pointed to his git repo at ssh://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/shmfd
and updated it for the current API's.

(Aka http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~keithp/shmfd/ for your web browsing pleasure.)

Possibly - I didn't know why Keith chose /run/shm in the first place.
