Maybe /var is a separate filesystem. Some people have scripts
that would try to "clean out" /var/shm. In general, the shm
filesystem content is completely unrelated to the rest of /var.

Just like the proc and devfs filesystems, this belongs at the top.
It really doesn't fit within anything else. Besides, flatter trees
are faster and easier to navigate. So, mount it on /shm.
