OK, so I'm not seeing a definitive stance by the interested parties
either way.  So since the code's already done, I'm posting the sysctl
method, and defaulting to on.  I assume that if we later decide that
a mount option was correct after all, that it's no big deal to axe the
sysctl?

The sysctl code in this patch is based on work originally done by
Andi.  It has been changed a bit, mostly to make it appear only
in CONFIG_NUMA && CONFIG_TMPFS kernels.
