I'm concerned that we'll have to duplicate/inline much of sys_shmat() in
ipc/compat.c and it might become a maintenance problem. Perhaps there is
a way to do it in a better way, but I don't see it.
An ifdef in sys_shmat() that distinugishes between architectures that enforce
SHMLBA in all cases and the ones which don't would be ideal for my purposes.
