Add in my fix for 2.4.x kernels so /proc/mounts will not have useless

deg entries which break mount, df, and friends.  Renamed WillThisGoIntoTheKernel
to avoid any confision.

+Ok, cool.  So something like then?  I kept in the filter for FS_NOMOUNT
+filesystems, as I assume those should never show up in /proc/mounts, and added
+that filter to the /proc/filesystems listing as well.
