 The allow.mount parameter recently changed in a subtle way - it's now
 a node (to e.g. allow.mount.devfs) as well as a parameter in its own
 right. This confused libjail which knows how to handle such parameters
 as long as they're not boolean.
 
 I'm including my proposed fix to libjail. This this fix, allow.nomount
 should once again work, as should allow.mount and other things such as
 allow.quotas/allow.noquotas should work as they did before.
