Is it ok to default mdmfs to tmpfs behavior? Not sure if anyone would
like to have explicit allocation e.g. failing early on insufficient memory,
rather than failing on write. If so then at least 'md' should be in the
options in addition to 'auto' and 'tmpfs' when both md and tmpfs are
available from kernel.
