Using FTPsearch I found

ftp://ftp.torun.pdi.net/pub/Linux/prepatches/lofs-2.0.30.diff

but I don't know how well it applies to 2.0.33 (I haven't tried it out yet).
Any idea if autofs will use that at some point ?

There was also someone working on tmpfs (I assume that's what you mean by tfs),
but I haven't heard anything about it for a while. Last I heard there were
problems with "double caching".
