That looks seriously disturbed. Normal filesystems have a backing store plus a page cache. Tmpfs removes the backing store and keeps everything in the page cache. XIP removes the page cache and leaves everything in the backing store - which is memory.
Would tmpfs plus XIP remove both the page cache and the backing store?
