[PATCH] Fix shmget for ppc64, s390-64 & sparc64.
The second parameter of the sys_ipc system wrapper on ppc64, s390-64 and sparc64 is an "int". sys_shmget gets called with this 32 bit value as the size parameter. This limits the maximum shared memory segment on these three architectures to 2GB. To fix this the second parameter is declared as an "unsigned long" and is then casted to the type required by the The same int vs. unsigned long bug is fixed for sys_msgsnd and sys_msgrcv as well.
