Subject: Sys-V IPC and !MMU

I notice that if you enable Sys-V IPC support (CONFIG_SYSVIPC) on a
no-MMU arch, the kernel fails to compile because it uses functions
defined in mm/shmem.c, which is not compiled if !MMU.

Is this a fundamental incompatibility? If so, maybe init/Kconfig should
make SYSVIPC depend on MMU.

Thanks,

-Miles
