If SHM_MAP_NOT_FIXED specified and shmaddr is not NULL, then the kernel takes
shmaddr as a hint about where to place the mapping. The address of the mapping
is returned as the result of the call.

It's similar to mmap() without MAP_FIXED.

Please CC linux-api-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org on patches that change the
kernel-userspace interface.

Ok, I will.
