Here is an patch to fix virtual aliasing problem with SysV IPC
shared memory.  I tested this patch on a r4k cpu with 32Kb D-cache.

If D-cache is smaller than PAGE_SIZE this patch is not needed at
all...
More precisely, if the size of a D-cache "set" is smaller than
PAGE_SIZE.  So a CPU with a 16Kbyte 4-way set-associative cache and
4Kbyte PAGE_SIZE is safe.
