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.
