TMPFS_PAGES_MINRESERVED controls how much memory is reserved for the system
and not used by tmpfs.
On very small memory systems, the default value may be too high and this
prevents these small memory systems from using reroot, which is required
for them to install firmware updates.

- Remove unnecessary NULL checks after M_WAITOK allocations.
- Use VOP_ACCESS instead of hand-rolled suser_cred()
calls. [1]
- Use malloc(9) KPI to allocate memory for string. The
optimization taken from NetBSD is not valid for FreeBSD
because our malloc(9) already act that way. [2]

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.
This work was developed by Julio M. Merino Vidal
for NetBSD as a SoC project; Rohit Jalan ported it
from NetBSD to FreeBSD. Howard Su and Glen Leeder
are worked on it to continue this effort.
