[RFC] [PATCH] sys_shmat for 64-bits in 32-bit compat mode

[dmitry pervushin <dpervushin@ru.mvista.com>]

Hello all,

I would like you to comment the following patch. At the some moment, I
was faced to problem with syscall sys_shmat in 32-bit mode on 64-bit
platforms. I have fixed the function in the same manner as native
sys_shmat had been: sys_shmat expects pointer to memory as the return
value rather than put_user'ed to the memory pointed by 3rd parameter.
