Michael Kerrisk 9de1f6ccc4 Since linux 2.6.11, /proc/stat has an eighth value for cpu 
lines: stolen time, which is the time spent in other operating
systems when running in a virtualized environment.

Michael Kerrisk 809d01649e I noticed things to correct and to clarify in subsection 
"/proc/filesystems" of proc.5:
- clarify filesystems listing: not only FS compiled
  into the kernel, also FS kernel modules currently loaded
- add a reference to fs(5)
- add an explanation for FS marked with "nodev"
- s/mount(1)/mount(8)/, also corrected in section "SEE ALSO"
- clarify usage by mount: the current wording may lead to
  think /proc/filesystems is always used by mount when no FS
  is specified. So, usage of "may" which IMHO is more
  appropriate + additionnal explanations
  In mount(8) we can see:

       If no -t option is given, or if the auto type is
       specified, mount will try to guess the desired type.
       If mount was compiled with the blkid library, the
       guessing is done by this library. Otherwise, mount
       guesses itself by probing the superblock; if that
       does not turn up anything that looks familiar,
       mount will try to read the file /etc/filesystems,
       or, if that does not exist, /proc/filesystems.
       All of the filesystem types listed there will be
       tried, except for those that are labeled "nodev"
       (e.g., devpts, proc and nfs). If /etc/filesystems
       ends in a line with a single * only, mount will
       read /proc/filesystems afterwards.

Replace 'null character' with 'null byte'.
Replace 'nulls' with 'null bytes'.
Replace 'NUL-terminated' by 'null-terminated'.
