Indeed, there are several file systems of _type_ "tmpfs", but (at
least on my laptop with Edgy) the _name_ of 
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/volatile/ is set to "tmpfs".  These are my
tmpfs file systems:

  affi at gorgon:~$ mount|grep tmpfs
  varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
  varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
  udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
  devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
  tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

The latter is the previously named "lrm", and as you can see, "tmpfs"
is mentioned twice on that line.
