This is a fine solution. I hope it's OK when I add this to my patch
request.

But I have two remarks.

1. For example you could use the diskless boot procedure for smart
clients with a small disk used as swap space. So I think it is better to
use swap instead of malloc for var,dev, and tmp. This could be done with
a variable (e.g. diskless_swap_enable). What do think about it?

2. Building a dev dir is obsolete when you use DEVFS. So you should
distinguish between these two  situations. I don't know if you could use
one of the "vfs.devfs.*" variables to determine the usage of DEVFS.
