Hmm, I'm not thrilled about this. If you don't have the full SHMEM
filesystem enabled (which I would say is relatively common on the kind
of small systems without swap we're targetting), you have ramfs rather
than tmpfs, and you CAN use a custom fs skeleton, so tmpfs might not be
needed (E.G. for an initramfs).
In general, I would like to keep the hardcoded options to a minimum.
