Im kind of confused as to why there is need to mount the fdesc filesystem
into /dev/fd dirctory.

Contents of /dev/fd are:

[elevator] /dev% ls /dev/fd
0       15      21      28      34      40      47      53      6       9
1       16      22      29      35      41      48      54      60
10      17      23      3       36      42      49      55      61
11      18      24      30      37      43      5       56      62
12      19      25      31      38      44      50      57      63
13      2       26      32      39      45      51      58      7
14      20      27      33      4       46      52      59      8


and when i do mount -t fdesc fdesc /dev/fd, its the same as above except
theres devices from 0 to 5 only.

Btw, i meant the first patch applied to kern_syscalls.c. Can you MFC the
already committed patch to -RELEASE too?

Thanks,
Petr
