They're known offenders, yes.  But to fix them, we need a proper
early-writeable-filesystem, first.  And /dev/shm is not it, it is only being
abused as so.

That said, /dev/shm can be *inside* a tmpfs /tmp (the other way around ain't
acceptable due to namespace colision issues).  Patches on how to implement
that in a sane and safe way are welcome.
