Yeah, I meant to put in an MFC after.  I'm currently in Taiwan so don't
have access to any RELENG_4 box to put the USB keychain into, but when I
get back to the US I'll test it and merge.  It sounds like we need to
revisit the other "sanity" checks in the mount code also, since drivers
are now bigger and have very different notions of "layout" from when this
code was last updated.
