+This fixes a few issues with update_mtab():
+- If it is a remount, and only mnt_opts needs updating, mc->m.mnt_opts is set
+  to point to instead->mnt_opts, rather than allocating a new string, which
+  would cause a double free if the caller actually freed the passed mnt_opts,
+  as we free mc->m.mnt_opts before returning to the caller.
+- Mostly the same issue as above.  If mtab does not contain the new entry, then
+  absent->m is set to point to instead, which would have cause a double free
+  if absent was inserted properly into the linked list, since we free all
+  elements of absent before returning to the caller.
+- If mtab does not contain the new entry, then only mc0->prev is updated to
+  point to absent, but not the old mc0->prev's nxt pointer.  Because we then
+  use the nxt pointers to write the new mtab, absent is not added to the new
+  mtab.
+- If mtab is empty, absent->prev should be set to mc0, and not mc0->prev, as
+  it will be NULL.
+- Memory leak if we have to abort before mc0 and co are freed.

+=====
+-f     Causes  everything  to  be  done  except  for  the  actual  system call;
+       if it's not obvious, this ``fakes'' mounting the file system.  This option
+       is useful in conjunction with the -v flag to determine what the mount
+       command is trying to do. It can also be used to add entries for devices that
+       were mounted earlier with the -n option.
+=====
+
+Also, we need it in /etc/init.d/checkroot to regen /etc/mtab ...
