Update text to reflect that:
- mount(8) now calls the nmount(2) system call directly, not mount(2)
- specifying a filesystem type with -t will not automatically
invoke an external /sbin/mount_XXXX program....this only happens for
certain file system types. For all other file system types, nmount(2)
is called directly.
