34afcb6a5d Add an EXAMPLES section. Requested by martti@ to clarify the purpose of
the field before the mount point.

847bd3696d Inherit owner, group and mode of the mount directory so that mounting a
tmpfs over, e.g., /tmp, is trivial.

b0085cab71 Kill the tmpfs(9) manual page; it was just documenting internal details of
tmpfs' "API" and was already rotting.

Instead, merge all the relevant comments into the code.  This includes
acknowledgements to Google's Summer of Code 2005 program (they were in the
AUTHORS section of tmpfs(9) before), so all the files need to be changed
to include this sentence alongside the title.  (Note that this was not a
requirement of the program.)

file system.

ec93365612 Initial addition of tmpfs, an efficient memory file-system. This project
was developed as part of Google's Summer of Code 2005 program.  This
change adds the kernel code, the mount_tmpfs utility, a regression test
suite and does all other related changes to integrate these.

The file-system is still *experimental*.  Therefore, it is disabled by
default in all kernels.  However, as typically done, a commented-out
entry is added in them to ease its setup.

Note that I haven't commited the required mountd(8) changes to be able
to export tmpfs file-systems because NFS support is still very unstable
and because, before enabling it, I'd like to do some other changes.

OK'ed by my project mentor, William Studenmund (wrstuden@).
