Right, and that's because do_pagefault() is called somewhere in the
initialization, IIRC. But I will redo my tests now.
Anyway, if I use the POSIX skin the shared memory functions in there
will be used automatically. But I could use __real_shm_open and
__real_mmap, right? ... and access the page once per page in the
initialization phase. Then no more page faults should happen.
