Now that Brooks has split out dynamic creation of /var and /tmp for diskless 
systems, I wonder if we could profitably coalesce these?

Maybe not; the ramdisk silliness is mostly just to help people who want to 
use md's for small pools of high-speed cache, and is quite manual and 
simple about configuration, where Brooks' var and tmp processing is quite 
automatic.  Still, it bears some thinking.
