Okay this is where I have to redirect you because I'm not aware of this
particular issue, ie why consolekit needs tmpfs posix acls.
If I am not mistaken, ConsoleKit uses ACLs to grant the currently
active user access to various /dev nodes. E.g., with ConsoleKit you
don't need to put users into "video", "audio" and "cdrom" groups
anymore (corresponding to v4l, sound, and dvd/cdrom devices), so
access permissions are more fine-grained and based on need.
oh and since /dev is tmpfs, hence the need.
@original poster. turn this on, its a good thing :)
