that ext2fs in the kernel supports async mounts. ext2fs used to
effectively force the -async flag on. -async for ext2fs only gives
async (more precisely, delayed) writes for inode updates, so it is
barely worth using even when it is safe.
remove all the code which was trying to do so.
This code was nasty in several ways, it was hiding
the kernel bug where the kernel was unable to properly
load a module, and it was quitting if it wasn't able
to load the module. The consequence is that an ABI
breakage of the vfsconf API would have broken *every*
mount utility.
Made mount more userfriendly (bad slashes are now filtered out)
and we remove in mount_nfs trailing slashes if there are any.
Fixed mount_xxx binarys to resolve with realpath(3)
the mountpoint.
Translate the deprecated nfs-syntax with '@' to ':' .
The ':' syntax has now precedence, but '@' still works.
Notify the user that the '@' syntax should not be used.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

or __pure2 where it wasn't already done, except in math.h where use
of __pure was mostly wrong.
mount_* programs. While we're at it, collapse the four now-identical
mount programs for devfs, fdesc, kernfs, and procfs into links to
a new mount_std(8) which can mount any really generic filesystem
such as these when called with the appropriate argv[0].
Also, convert the mount programs to use sysexits.h.
