So I'd prefer something that does not have the "incore" function at all,
and if that convinces somebody else to change shm to use the address_space
stuff to get a working mincore(), all the better. Ok?

hmm.  i created the "incore" method because mincore needs to synchronize
with the swapping method used for each of the different vma types.  this
is different for shm's vs. mapped files -- they both use locking methods
that are independent of one another.

But that's exactly my poing. The shm version is bad, and it will be
eventually removed ;)

btw i think i've ended up in your kill file.  direct mail i send to you
appears to be lost.

You'r enot in my kill-file any more than anybody else is.

The fact that I get too much mail means that very few people get horribly
much attention, I'm afraid.
