From the tmpfs documentation it kind of implies inodes take half the RAM 
pages:

nr_inodes: The maximum number of inodes for this instance. The default
           is half of the number of your physical RAM pages, or (on a
           machine with highmem) the number of lowmem RAM pages,
           whichever is the lower.

Now while reading it again, I think I may have misread it previously...
Looks like half the RAM pages is used as a default number of inodes, but 
inodes don't consume that much. It's good to know udev is not a pig... :)
