The source tells me that EEXISTS is ok as a return code. Is it this one?

No. Those interrupts are virtual ones that are local to the Linux, thus
IRQ65 is a different one in each Linux.

The IRQ number allocation for virtual IRQs is in arch/l4/kernel/irq.c.


Does client2+shm1 work if you do not configure client1+shm0?
