  Log:
  Add a -P option to allow skipping newfs when using a vnode-backed
  disk. Apparently some people want to use mdmfs as mount_* as a
  shortcut for mounting existing file-based file systems.
  
  Note that unlike in the patches from the submitters, this option is
  not available in compat mode. Compat mode was supposed to support only
  things that mount_mfs used to support. To use this option from fstab,
  mdmfs should be called mount_md, not mount_mfs. This distinction has
  not always upkept for new options, and those can't be fixed now
  without breaking people's systems, but new options should not usually
  be allowed in compat mode. (Not sure why -F is allowed there at all.)
