- Why not just add a new syscall, instead of the KSEM_PSHARED stuff?

Mainly because a new syscall is more intrusive, and harder to back-port.  It’s a shame the existing system call didn’t have a way to pass flags up.

…oh, and also would require a libc bump.  That seems really excessive when there’s another way to do it.
