	Well if you've got the files already sitting on the MD you might as well
leave them there, instead of taking up even more memory. 

If you really want tmpfs as root, you could try union mounting it over md...
but I wouldn't surpised if it quickly panic'd the kernel.
	mount_tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
	mount_union /mnt /
