I do not know about dshm. We have a very complex memory management in
R/3 and different modes we can use. One mode relies on posix shm to
only map the current context. There is another one which uses plain
SYSV shm and one that uses mmap MAP_ANON|MAP_SHARED.
Posix shm does give us all the features we need.
