upper layer. Until now, unionfs prevents to use that kind of
file system as upper layer. This time, I changed to allow
that kind of file system as upper layer. By this change, you
can use whiteout not supporting file system (e.g., especially
for tmpfs) as upper layer. It's very useful for combination of
tmpfs as upper layer and read only file system as lower layer.
By difinition, without whiteout support from the file system
backing the upper layer, there is no way that delete and rename
operations on lower layer objects can be done. EOPNOTSUPP is
returned for this kind of operations as generated by VOP_WHITEOUT()
along with any others which would make modifica tions to the
lower layer, such as chmod(1).
This change is suggested by ed.

and Daichi GOTO <daichi@FreeBSD.org> for submitting this
major rewrite of unionfs. This rewrite was done to
try to solve many of the longstanding crashing and locking
issues in the existing unionfs implementation. This
implementation also adds a 'MASQUERADE mode', which allows
the user to set different user, group, and file permission
modes in the upper layer.

This change will help to reduce the situation that we don't explicitly

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.
systems were repo-copied from sys/miscfs to sys/fs.
- Renamed the following file systems and their modules:
fdesc -> fdescfs, portal -> portalfs, union -> unionfs.
- Renamed corresponding kernel options:
FDESC -> FDESCFS, PORTAL -> PORTALFS, UNION -> UNIONFS.
- Install header files for the above file systems.
- Removed bogus -I${.CURDIR}/../../sys CFLAGS from userland
Makefiles.
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.
