Probably the best thing is to have /dev/shm be big enough to hold the
physical memories of all the UMLs on the system.
If you're being dynamic enough to make that difficult, there are a
couple of other approaches:
remount /dev/shm to resize it whenever you start a new UML
create a private tmpfs mount for each new UML and point TMPDIR
at it
