Yes, I messed up while amending a commit :-(. I'll fix that for the
manually produced changelog.

Thanks for checking.

So, I see there is this text in mount(8):
Note that trying to mount a tmpfs with an mpol option will
fail if the running kernel does not support NUMA; and will
fail if its nodelist specifies a node which is not online.
If your system relies on that tmpfs being mounted, but from
time to time runs a kernel built without NUMA capability
(perhaps a safe recovery kernel), or with fewer nodes
online, then it is advisable to omit the mpol option from
automatic mount options. It can be added later, when the
tmpfs is already mounted on MountPoint, by 'mount -o
remount,mpol=Policy:NodeList MountPoint'.
Will that stay there, or should it move to tmpfs(5)?
Thanks,
Michael
