It would require new mount point convention that userland would have to
standardize. To me (and admittedly its a taste thing), a new
O_TMPFILE-only tmpfs mount point seems to be to be a bigger interface
change from an application writers perspective then a new syscall.
But maybe I'm misunderstanding your suggestion?
