The 4*PAGE_SIZE on ARM is an architecture specific oddity, I believe
to work around aliasing caches on ARMv6. As no other architecture does
this, we're probably better off not duplicating it for aarch64-ilp32
and just use sys_shmat as your v6 patch does.

If you feel ARMv6 fix for caches will come soon, just ignore it.
Otherwise, please pull it because compat_sys_shmat is broken now
for 64K pages.
