compatible, it would have to (at least):
- support the "compat-compat" -T option,
- *not* support the -l, -O, and -v options,
- default to soft updates being disabled.
Worse, the compatibility mode makes it impossible to mount_mfs(8)
a file system from fstab(5) with soft updates disabled (-S). [1]
Now, the only difference when called as "mount_mfs" or "mfs" (as
opposed to "mdmfs") is that the file mode of the mount point is
set by default to 01777. All options available to mdmfs(8) are
also available to mount_mfs(8); the -C option is still recognized
but ignored for backward compatibility.
PR: bin/98860 [1]
MFC after: 2 weeks
disk. Apparently some people want to use mdmfs as mount_* as a
shortcut for mounting existing file-based file systems.
Note that unlike in the patches from the submitters, this option is
not available in compat mode. Compat mode was supposed to support only
things that mount_mfs used to support. To use this option from fstab,
mdmfs should be called mount_md, not mount_mfs. This distinction has
not always upkept for new options, and those can't be fixed now
without breaking people's systems, but new options should not usually
be allowed in compat mode. (Not sure why -F is allowed there at all.)

the newfs default is for the platform (generally, UFS1). This is
required to support diskless workstations that use UFS2 for their
mdmfs file systems.

name is "mount_mfs" or "mfs". Previously, the condition was that
the program name must start with "mount_", but this both missed
the case where mount(8) invokes mdmfs with argv[0] = "mfs", and it
included cases such as "mount_md" where compatibility is not
required.

default if the executable is named (called as) "mount_*", or can be
enabled with the -C option. This allows users to leave their old
fstab entires unchanged (modulo symlink'ing mdmfs to mount(md|mfs))
and have things behave the way they should (by emulating mount_mfs
silliness), while still allowing mdmfs to be used as a generic
make-an-md-and-mount-it type thing.
Right now, the only effects of this option is to set the mount-point
mode to 01777 as if "-p 1777" was given, and to complain about getting
command-line options that mount_mfs didn't take (e.g., -X, -L, et al).
The latter is mostly to try to catch operator errors.
Also implement -U, which turns on soft-updates. It's redundant (since
softdep is the default), but implement it anyway for compatibility.
