THis wouldn't work the way you might expect. RequiresMountsFor= and
suchlike would still pull in the mount unit, regardless if it is enabled
or not.

The ability to mask the unit, plus the ability to override it via
/etc/fstab should be enough.

(Also I see little point in /tmp not being a tmpfs anyway. If you want a
lot of space there, then use swap -- of which you can have up to 2G even
on 32bit systems. tmpfs on on swap has the great benefit that it
relieves the kernel from always having to utimately flush things to disk)
