Oops.. The attachment wasn't inlined. Resending the patch in an easier to comment on

Subject: [PATCH 05/16] libcamera: shared_mem_object: reorganize the code and
  document the SharedMemObject class

Split the parts which doesn't otherwise depend on the type T or
arguments Args out of the SharedMemObject class into a new
SharedMem class.

Doxygen documentation by Dennis Bonke and Andrei Konovalov.
