The default value is 200.

It has nothing to do with ipcs.  The ipcs tool is used to
report SysV IPC data.

I suggest you try increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC in your
kernel config, or adjust the vm.pmap.shpgperproc loader
tunable (same effect, but doesn't require building a
new kernel).

Irrelevant.

Obviously nothing on your machine uses SysV IPC, so all
fields are empty.
