     So, should I still file a PR, or will christos deal with it?

     I just tried mounting fdesc and this is what df /dev/fd produced:

# df /dev/fd
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
fdesc               1        1        0   100%    /dev/fd

Without fdesc mounted, it produced:

# df /dev/fd
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0a       19791    17316     1485    92%    /

Assuming your code can deal with the fact that "df fd" returns two
lines, it should be okay.  I didn't actually try it.
