What's wrong with ramfs? I saw you mention on irc that it has a 1/2 of
memory max size, but that doesn't seem *too* limiting.

Yuck.

Makes some sense. I would rather make core stuff use the root filesystem
and other stuff use /usr though. The root filesystem could be a cramfs
filesystem, which would require it to be read-only; /var could be
another ramfs or a link to the /usr ramfs.
