HEADSUP: change in root mount semantics for md* devices.

We have had a hack which would mount the root filesystem R/W if
the device were named 'md*'.  As part of the vnode work I'm doing
I have had to remove this hack.

People building systems which use preloaded MD root filesystems
may need to insert a "/sbin/mount -u -o rw /dev/md0 /" in their
/etc/rc scripts.

  Log:
  Remove hack which mounts the root filesystem R/W if the device is
  named 'md<something>'.  While convenient, it does not belong here,
  if anywhere at all.
