Hmmm, now that I look at the changes to mound_md() again, I don't like the way
it's headed.  Would it make more sense to add a tmpmfs_flags="" variable that
would surpass both the bytes-per-inode and the ones I tried adding?  This
introduces an incompatibility with the current state of mount_md(), but it's
easily extensible to include other options of mdmfs without having to invent
new funny ways of passing options to mdmfs through the rc.d scripts.
