Turns out, the 'sr_' prefix can be customised at runtime:

    $ SYSREPO_SHM_PREFIX=GRRR make netopeer2-reinstall
    $ ls /dev/shm
    /dev/shm/GRRR_ext                                     /dev/shm/GRRR_ietf-ssh-server.operational
    /dev/shm/GRRR_ietf-crypto-types.operational           /dev/shm/GRRR_ietf-ssh-server.running
    [--SNIP--]
    /dev/shm/GRRR_ietf-netconf-nmda.running               /dev/shm/GRRR_main
    [--SNIP--]
    /dev/shm/GRRR_ietf-origin.operational                 /dev/shm/GRRR_yang.operational
    /dev/shm/GRRR_ietf-origin.running                     /dev/shm/GRRR_yang.running

Unfortunately, that can not be used be specify a sub-directory, or an
alternate location...

So, by carefully choosing a prefix, we can at least identify what files
we must remove after the fact, and we can ensure that two concurrent
builds will not use the same files.

For example, totally untested:

    diff --git a/package/netopeer2/netopeer2.mk b/package/netopeer2/netopeer2.mk
    index bc02e0dc93..dd10f76cba 100644
    --- a/package/netopeer2/netopeer2.mk
    +++ b/package/netopeer2/netopeer2.mk
    @@ -13,9 +13,20 @@ NETOPEER2_DEPENDENCIES = libnetconf2 libyang sysrepo
     
     NETOPEER2_CONF_OPTS = -DBUILD_CLI=$(if $(BR2_PACKAGE_NETOPEER2_CLI),ON,OFF)
     
    +NETOPEER2_SHM_PREFIX = sr_buildroot$(subst /,_,$(CONFIG_DIR))_
    +NETOPEER2_MAKE_ENV = SYSREPO_SHM_PREFIX=$(NETOPEER2_SHM_PREFIX)

     endef
     
    +# The host sysrepo used to install the netopeer2 modules will leave
    +# its shared memory files lingering about. Clean up in its stead...
    +define NETOPEER2_CLEANUP
    +	rm -f /dev/shm/$(NETOPEER2_SHM_PREFIX)*
    +endef
    +NETOPEER2_PRE_INSTALL_TARGET_HOOKS += NETOPEER2_CLEANUP
    +NETOPEER2_POST_INSTALL_TARGET_HOOKS += NETOPEER2_CLEANUP
    +
     $(eval $(cmake-package))

(note: I hand-edited the patch, so it may be completely unusable as-is
now, but you at least get the idea...)
