I started this manual page to explain how tmpfs works overall, the
design decisions taken in its development, etc.  And in order to explain
many things, I had to detail its structures.  I think it can work well, as it
can explain many more things than a single comment in the file...

FWIW, we already describe structures in manual pages, e.g., vnode(9).
