SYSVIPC is a pretty crucial feature that I doubt very much if anyone 
except embedded people should even consider disabling - it simply 
breaks too much software for a Linux box to really be useful without it, 
for most purposes.
For that reason I find it quite odd that the feature defaults to 'No' 
currently.  I really cannot see any reason why we wouldn't want this to 
default to 'Yes', so this patch changes the default by adding 'default y' 
to Kconfig.
