Reviewed by: various.
Ever since I first say the way the mount flags were used I've hated the
fact that modes, and events, internal and exported, and short-term
and long term flags are all thrown together. Finally it's annoyed me enough..
This patch to the entire FreeBSD tree adds a second mount flag word
to the mount struct. it is not exported to userspace. I have moved
some of the non exported flags over to this word. this means that we now
have 8 free bits in the mount flags. There are another two that might
well move over, but which I'm not sure about.
The only user visible change would have been in pstat -v, except
that davidg has disabled it anyhow.
I'd still like to move the state flags and the 'command' flags
apart from each other.. e.g. MNT_FORCE really doesn't have the
same semantics as MNT_RDONLY, but that's left for another day.
