...most of the work in mounting a pseudo filesystem. (3) Converts all the trivial filesystems that have no arguments to fs_context. (4) Converts binderfs (which was trivial before January). (5) Converts ramfs, tmpfs, rootfs and devtmpfs. (6) Kills off mount_pseudo(), mount_pseudo_xattr(), mount_ns(), sget_userns().

(6) Provides a convenience helper function, vfs_get_mtd_super(), for doing the work in setting up an MTD device-based superblock. (7) Kills off mount_pseudo(), mount_pseudo_xattr(), mount_ns(), sget_userns(), mount_mtd(), mount_single(). (8) Converts a slew of filesystems to use the mount API. (9) Fixes a bug in hypfs.
