Here's a quick rebase. It needs testing, review and (probably)
adjustment from AIX users. I'm not going to be able to do anything
with it on my own due to lack of access, though I'm happy to help get
this committed eventually. If we don't get any traction in this CF,
I'll withdraw this submission for now. For consistency, I think we
should eventually also do the same thing for Linux when using sysv
(it's pretty similar, it just uses different flag names; it may also
be necessary to query the page size and round up the requested size,
on one or both of those OSes; I'm not sure).
