I fixed the immediate problem, i.e. that the gmtoff member was
added without regard of backward compatibility, that the older
mount_msdos stopped working correctly with new kernel. That
had to be dealt ASAP, before we could start discussing
what's the best way forward.

I mean to look at your proposal, but haven't managed so far due
to lack of time.

I don't think so - 3rd party code is not supposed to call mount(2),
so I don't see need to maintain copy of the structure
in manpage.

Please hold off. I wouldn't have time to look at the
proposed change before Saturday.
