Hi,

	The two following patches are an update of the one sent at the
beginning of this week.
	They introduce the ability of setting or modifying the ID of an
existing System V IPC. This may be specially useful in the checkpoint/
restart context, when preparing the IPCs ressources before restarting
a process.

	Following the (good :) ) comments, the first patch introduces a
kernel API for doing the job from kernel space only.
	The second patch adds the possibility of doing the same job
from user space, by adding a new IPC_SETID command to the ***ctl functions.

	As usual, all comments are welcome :) !

Thanks,
