I suspect you might need a newer kernel than 3.0.x as I think there's
been a number of recent enhancements to tmpfs.

Not that I'm aware of, I suspect you need a newer kernel. F-18
mainline shipped with a 3.6.10 kernel. I'm hoping to add support for
the Wandboard in F-19 as well as other imx6 devices but I've not had
time to deal with adding the imx6 bits to the kernel as yet.
