On Linux the actual rootfs gets mounted over an initial
rootfs. The mountcache on Linux is populated with the
content of /proc/mounts and as such it will contain 2
entries for the rootfs. So when the fstype function
is used to lookup the type of filesystem based on
the dev_t value it will always find the rootfs first.
But people expect to find either ext2, ext3 etc.
so we added a table with per OS (currently only Linux)
the filesystem which should NOT be loaded into the
internal lookup table.
