+tmpfs has a mount option to set the NUMA memory allocation policy for
+all files in that instance:
+mpol=interleave                prefers to allocate memory from each node in turn
+mpol=default           prefers to allocate memory from the local node
+mpol=bind              prefers to allocate from mpol_nodelist
+mpol=preferred         prefers to allocate from first node in mpol_nodelist
