The problem with this is that tmpfs may be mounted before
swap is initialized, so a little less than
swap+ram will become "a little less than just RAM" anyway.
Or do you propose a dynamic limit, changing as swap
is added/removed? This has problems if some swap is
removed, and suddenly tmpfs usage exceeds its quota.
