Well it's just a switch, albeit with only one case, so I wouldn't expect it to
be much more than a thin wrapper.
If we had more storage systems it might be clearer what features were common
to all of them and could be hoisted up from md.c. I'm not clear there are any
though.
Actually I wonder if an entirely in-memory storage system would help with the
"temporary table" problem on systems where the kernel is too aggressive about
flushing file buffers or metadata.
