After building:

FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 233772M: Mon Apr  2 05:42:48 PDT 2012     root at g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

with the referenced patch, I ran with it for the bulk of my daily
activities on the laptop yesterday, then (this morning), I performed
a source upgrade to:

FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #1 233835M: Tue Apr  3 07:07:39 PDT 2012     root at g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

and nothing peculiar or unexpected happened at all.  :-}

As far as I can tell, the patch does no harm, and enables tmpfs size
specifications to be more readily made and understood.

Peace,
david
