Subject: sysv shm eating up kernel VM

For a data acquisition application, we'd like to have
big chunks of shared memory (>=16M).
Unfortunately, this occupies kernel virtual memory,
and we often get these "pdti" panics.
(nkpde is already 31)

Is somebody working on this?
Would it work to borrow from FreeBSD code (which
doesn't map shm into kernel space)?

best regards
