The ODP_SHM_SINGLE_VA flag is created: when set (at odp_shm_reserve()),
this flag guarantees that all ODP threads sharing this memory
block will see the block at the same address (regadless of ODP
thread type -pthread vs process- or fork time)

The flag ODP_SHM_EXPORT is added: when passed at odp_shm_reserve() time
the memory block becomes visible to other ODP instances.
The function odp_shm_find_exported() is added: this function enables to
reserve block of memories exported by other ODP instances (using the
ODP_SHM_EXPORT flag).
