shmem has two uses:

- MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED (this patch set)
- tmpfs

For the second use case we don't want controls *at all*, we want the
same heiristics used for all other filesystems to apply to tmpfs.

As discussed in the MM meeting, Hugh had a different opinion on that.

FWIW, I just recalled that I wrote a quick summary:

I believe the meetings are recorded as well, but never looked at recordings.
