No reason they should be limited to anon only though.

Also, don't we have some sort of anonfs, from which we could get an 
fd, which, if mmap()-ed produces regular anonymous shared memory?

That fd could be passed over to other processes, who could then 
mmap() the new piece of shared-anon memory as well.

Thanks,
