apb 802860abdb When MAKEDEV creates a memory file system, let it try mount_tmpfs(8)
before falling back to mount_mfs(8).  Also calculate required number
of inodes more accurately.

Discussed in tech-userlevel.

apb 6d3d3ebe02 * MAKEDEV's "-M -M" option was always intended for use only by init(8).
Improve the documentation around that.
* The "-p pax", "-m mknod", and "-s" (mtree specfile) options should
  always have been mutually exclusive.  Now enforce that.
* The "-f" option didn't ever work with pax or mtree mode; document that,
  and make it an error to try something that won't work.
* Make pax mode the default, if no other options prevent this, and if
  "pax -w -M" appears to be usable.
* Add missing options to a usage message.
