SYSV shared memory (shm*) is a block of memory that one process
creates, and depending on the access flags, multiple processes can
attach to and see each other's changes.
Threads use shared memory by definition, because a threaded application
is still one process. No SYSV shm tricks are needed.
Openmosix won't be able to balance mysql threads, because even if it
were possible to synchronize shared memory between machines with Mosix,
synching thread mutexes would be horrendously slow. Better to just get
a multi-CPU box.
