む し【無私】
-な
情実にひかれて判断・処置を誤ることが無い様子だ。「公平無私な態度」
  Comments:
based on those n-grams and the kokugos, i think the -na is probably worth recording as second to adj-no

  Comments:
Those low は/が counts are a good sign it's rarely used as a noun. Although Daijirin has its usual "ナリ", the masses are mostly using の.
GG5 has a 無私性 entry, but it only gets 77 in the n-grams.
