Just so we are clear: the only thing xenomai posix skin shared memory
are useful for is sharing memory between kernel-space and user-space.
So, if your intent is to simply share memory between two xenomai
user-space applications, you can use plain linux shared memory,
including system 5 shared memory if you prefer.
