+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 >= MAX_NUMNODES. 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 configured to support
+fewer nodes, 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'.
