I reevaluated this view, and I think we can do what you suggest here.
Right now, we show NULL for DSAs and dshash tables because 1) we might not
be attached to them and 2) we don't have a pointer to the dsa_area * or
dshash_table * in local memory. If we introduce a function that looks up
the size of a DSA given its handle (transiently attaching to the control
segment if needed), we can show the size for all successfully-initialized
entries. Then, we can make NULL mean that the entry was
partially-initialized.
Patch attached.
