AIX doc addition:

After verifying that nobody wound up messing with the kernel
parameters, here's a docs patch...

+        At least as of version 5.1, it should not be necessary to do
+        any special configuration for such parameters as
+        SHMMAX, as it appears this is configured to
+        allow all memory to be used as shared memory.  That is the
+        sort of configuration commonly used for other databases such
+        as DB/2.
+
+        It may, however, be necessary to modify the global
+       ulimit information in
+       /etc/security/limits, as the default hard
+       limits for filesizes (fsize) and numbers of
+       files (nofiles) may be too low.
