Can we not mess with ipc/ please.

I know that will mess with my muscle memory and I don't see the point.
Especially as long as it is named ipc and not sysvipc.

A half cleanup really looks worse than a real cleanup.

SysV IPC really is a side car on the kernel and on unix in general
and having the directory structure reflect that seems completely sensible.
