Um, reality check?
I agree that storing file ccaches in such a filesystem is a good idea.
However, not all in-memory filesystems share the properties of Solaris
tmpfs.  "POSIX semantics" covers an awful lot of ground, and I'll bet
that most filesystems, in-memory or not, are incompatible in some way.
