I was unclear here, probably. I meant that "userspace application", i.e.
application which includes sys/sem.h but don't define _KERNEL, may call
semctl(IPC_INFO), but result of this call will have no meaning for
application since it can't interpret it.
So by "we" in underscored sentence i meant "userspace", non-system ipc
application.
