It's also trivial: just maintain a struct address_space for each
shm segment, and put the shm segment address in the address_space->
host field. Index each shm page against that address_space and
the VM will be able to find you for any callbacks it needs to make,
and you will be able to find the shm segment from that.
Cheers,
Stephen
