FWIW, I already implemented this once for 5.x a while back, but abandoned the project due to lack of time back then. If no-one else is going to pick this up, i might try and dig up that code again, and port it to 6.x, since this feature is still quite high on my wish list..

Another related, and necessary change, is to fix the field types in our public IPC data structures. Right now they still contain 16-bit ID fields. We've done the first step in separating the user and kernel data structures, but we'll need to do the whole compatibility system call thing. The comment above ipc_perm in ipc.h pretty much says it all:

/*
 * XXX almost all members have wrong types.
