Al Viro fd3e007f6c don't bother with registering rootfs
init_mount_tree() can get to rootfs_fs_type directly and that simplifies
a lot of things.  We don't need to register it, we don't need to look
it up *and* we don't need to bother with preventing subsequent userland
mounts.  That's the way we should've done that from the very beginning.

There is a user-visible change, namely the disappearance of "rootfs"
from /proc/filesystems.  Note that it's been unmountable all along
and it didn't show up in /proc/mounts; however, it *is* a user-visible
change and theoretically some script might've been using its presence
in /proc/filesystems to tell 2.4.11+ from earlier kernels.

*IF* any complaints about behaviour change do show up, we could fake
it in /proc/filesystems.  I very much doubt we'll have to, though.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
