Would it be at all possible to add the markings after/as files land
on the destination filesystem instead?

It's not really intuitive that tmpfs on the emerging kernel must
support a feature at build-time which is used by the runtime kernel
at run-time..


And what about stages? tar saves all attributes? It's a bit weak to
be less flexible than that.
