NetBSD has already changed at least fsck to fsck_ffs ... fsck is now a
"wrapper" much like mount is.
Eventually, we will have:
newfs_ffs
dump_ffs
fsck_ffs
mount_ffs
newfs_lfs
dump_lfs
fsck_lfs
mount_lfs
...etc.

The userland utility name should match the name used to mount the file
system. It should be "msdos" unless you change the name of the file
system (kernel sources included).
