[PATCH] NOMMU: make SYSV SHM nattch work correctly
Make the SYSV SHM nattch counter work correctly by forcing multiple VMAs to
be produced to represent MAP_SHARED segments, even if they overlap exactly.
Using this test program:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/doshm.c
Run as:
doshm sysv
I can see nattch going from one before the patch:

nattch 2
That's +1 to nattch for each shmat() made.
