That is not in this change, and no I am not taking it away.  I am merely not 
supporting it for 8.0+ binaries.  The actual system call will continue to 
exist and work for old binaries.  However, new binaries should not use it 
(and in fact no binaries since 5.0 are likely using it since 5.0 and later 
all have separate syscalls for the various SYSV IPC methods).
