- Completly changed the internals of umount(8). We do three
checks now to see if 'argv' is in the mounttable. It they
all fail, we return to main and print a warning.
- fixed the umount mount-order. The checks are rather complex
to do this. Cause umount(8) should also be able to unmount
several devices at once ('umount -a', 'umount -A',
'umount /mnt /mnt2'), the mount-order get's important.
I added checks to mark and unmark already unmounted devices.
- Various fixes with nfs-unmounts (no rpc-calls were done,
or they were done although there was an existing mount).
Since we allow overlay-mounts, we should also handle them
properly.
- Translate the deprecated nfs-syntax with '@' to ':' like
mount_nfs does. The ':' syntax has now precedence, but '@'
still works.
- 'umount -v' is now fixed for all cases and doesn't print
garbage like two times the mountpoint etc.
- removed non documented and useless umount '-F'.
- hanged nfsmounts can now unmounted 'without' any problems.
I've removed stat() and realpath() checks on the mountpoint.
Instead we just do a realpath() on the basedir of the
mountpath and add the dirname again.
Implemented this as an idea from phk. But there are still
vfs-restrictions if the nfs_mount is busy. If there are
unwritten metadata on a hanged nfs-mount, and we modify
nfs_vfsops.c to not return EBUSY, we get a deadlock :(
The problem has now moved from userland to kernel.
- removed the BUGS part from the umount(8) manpage.
- Converted it to ANSI C (more than 60% of the code have
changed).

- use new getvfsbyname() interface.
- new -A option, like -a except only mounted file systems are unmounted.
All non-cosmetic FreeBSD changes in umount.c, except ignoring of
realpath() failures, went away because they are done better in Lite2.
realpath() failures must be ignored so that non-pathnames like
"<above>:/foo" and "host:/bar" get as far as mount(2).

/sbin/umount does not return the correct exit status due to incorrect
logic in its internals.
Further, because of the nature of the code, you *cannot* use it to
umount a directory from a union mountpoint. Well, you can sometimes,
it depends on if the directory is at the top of the union stack or not :)
