Make it clear that the Kconfig option refers to "tmpfs".

if people haven't yet figured out that this used to be shm fs, they
probably don't need to know.

It's so long since I used anything but "make oldconfig", which
already shows TMPFS, making your mod seem redundant. But you're right,
menuconfig and xconfig don't show it, so your change is a good one.
Though for the moment I can only give you
acked-by: hugh dickins <[email protected]>:
the next entry is for "Tmpfs POSIX Access Control Lists"
so I'd rather you say "Tmpfs support (virtual memory file system)",
then you can uppercase my ack.

or i could change the next line to read "tmpfs" rather than "Tmpfs".
:-) does anyone have any strong feelings either way?
