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 <hugh@veritas.com>:
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.
