Correct.  But, if someone did create such a config AND wanted hugetlbfs
seal support they would be out of luck.  I really can't imagine systems
where tmpfs would be disabled and hugetlbfs would be enabled and users
would want hugetlbfs file sealing.  That is why I threw out the possibility
of making hugetlbfs depend on tmpfs.

Yes, that would be the ideal solution.  I just hate to go through the code
churn for a config combination that may never be used.  However, this really
would be the right thing to do.

Yes
