Ah I was about to ask him to try filecache before you and Zdenek kick in.
I was expecting the shm pages to be accounted in /dev/shm, however the GEM shm pages are allocated from an in-kernel tmpfs mount...
And I noticed in filecache that you are compiling your own /usr/local/drm/lib/libdrm_intel.so.1.0.0, now I know what are you doing ;-)
Good job, Lukas!
Thanks, Fengguang
