Well, we want to use tst_{brk,res}() in lapi :(. And these depend on counting
which mmap shared memory (see setup_ipc()). Thus things depend to each other.

Kind regards,

Yep, that's the first thing to do, that's why we did not concentrated on
functional rewrite like this one, but on converting tests. Luckily lots of them
has been already rewritten.


Kind regards,
