The shared mem count is set to zero by si_meminfo() in arch/i386/mm/init.c which is the function called to fill in all the values that "free" and /proc/meminfo displays.
The si_meminfo() in the other arch's does fill in the value; it's only left zero'd out in X86. i guess they'll get around to fixing that.

void si_meminfo(struct sysinfo *val) { val->totalram = totalram; val->sharedram = 0; val->freeram = nr_free_pages << PAGE_SHIFT; val->bufferram = atomic_read(&buffermem); return; }
