Actually that applies to mount(2), sorry.

The general, non-fs-specific ERRORS section doesn't list the discussed
ENODEV, EINVAL and EOPNOTSUPP may also happen.

The list of MNT_* flags could also use a check whether some of the newer
flags, e.g. MNT_RELOAD, should be added.

On a different note, is it normal that some errnos, e.g. EINVAL, can be
produced at multiple contexts inside sys_mount()? This may make it unclear
where the problem that led to the abort was exactly.
