Not with the current mfs, It would need a lot of work to be able to
release VM to the system. mfs is *NOT* like SunOS tmpfs.

Also note that by default mfs uses as much memory as the partition you
mount it on! If you only have one swap partition, DON'T MOUNT MFS ON IT
WITHOUT USING THE -s FLAG TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF SWAP MFS USES!!!
If you don't use -s bad things can happen.
