That looks seriously disturbed.  Normal filesystems have a backing store
plus a page cache.  Tmpfs removes the backing store and keeps everything
in the page cache.  XIP removes the page cache and leaves everything in
the backing store - which is memory.

Would tmpfs plus XIP remove both the page cache and the backing store?

structures, not algorithms, are central to programming.
