We will need to have some kind of flag that would tell the testrunner
that the test is using/modifying SysV IPC anyways as without namespaces
these tests cannot run in parallel at all.

So I would say that we should:

* Write these tests in a way that they expect that they are the only
  process that modifies these resources during the testrun

* Mark all these tests with .sysv_ipc flag in the tst_test structure

* Then we can easily add support for running them in a separate
  namespace in the test library

Does that sound reasonable?
