The option "nonc" disables using of namecache for the created mount,
by default namecache is used. The rationale for the option is that
namecache duplicates the information which is already kept in memory
by tmpfs. Since it believed that namecache scales better than tmpfs,
or will scale better, do not enable the option by default. On the
other hand, smaller machines may benefit from lesser namecache
pressure.

Please note that, this is currently considered as an
experimental feature so there could be some rough
edges. Consult http://wiki.freebsd.org/TMPFS for
more information.
For now, connect tmpfs to build on i386 and amd64
architectures only. Please let us know if you have
success with other platforms.
