i'm surprised you haven't seen it. In any case, it's in Documentation/Changes
(where linux/README tells you to look):

General Information
===================

   To use System V shared memory, you have to mount the shm filesystem
somewhere. You can do that automatically by adding this line to /etc/fstab:

none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0

Remember to create the mountpoint directory; it does not have to be /var/shm.
