The files are in ./include/asm-<platform>/ (relative to the location where you installed the linux kernel sources) called shm.h and shmparam.h

Recompile and you're set.
Apparently you can set SHMMAX on the fly by changing a file in /proc but on the systems I had here this file wasn't present. I think it was /proc/sys/kernel or something like that. You need SysCtrl in the kernel to have the dir.
