Matt (or Sephe),

I'd like to add EVFILT_FS type to kqueue events.
autoumountd which is a userspace daemon of autofs needs this.

EVFILT_FS has existed in FreeBSD since 2004.
EVFILT_FS is triggered only when mounting or unmounting a filesystem.
(FreeBSD later added some NFS events in addition to mount/unmount, but this commit doesn't apply those)

The patch needs to be reviewed as I've only read kern/kern_event.c today to briefly understand the mechanism.
