That's fine, but as it's just using the standard tmpfs interfaces that
other in-kernel virtual filesystems use, it shouldn't need that much
review.  The code is quite small as well, and I thought Al was still on
an extended vacation.

This code has been reviewed and posted numerous times for over 6 months
now, which should be plenty of time for us to be waiting for a review,
don't you?
