SysV IPC is used by many programs -- we're not trying to sure it up.
I just want all values passed to/from the kernel to be 'sufficiently
large'. Right now, we can make all 16-bit values passed 32-bit and it
will cost us nothing (in fact, we'll save a few cycles in some code
paths).
POSIX IPC is another story... I hope we don't screw this up too.
Where can I find patches for this?
