To make sure I don't miss any (it seems I missed recvmmsg and sendmmsg for
the socketcall case, sigh), this is the list of ipc syscalls to implement?

    sys_msgget
    sys_msgctl
    sys_msgrcv
    sys_msgsnd
    sys_semget
    sys_semctl
    sys_semtimedop
    sys_shmget
    sys_shmctl
    sys_shmat
    sys_shmdt

sys_semop() seems to be unneeded because it can be implemented using
sys_semtimedop()?

Thanks!
