Log:
  MFC r208647,r208654: Clarify devfs manpages slightly.
  
  mount(8): add xref to devfs(5)
  devfs(5): change example to something more likely to be useful (it is not
  necessary to mount a devfs on /dev manually, but for chroots/jails it is
  often needed), mention since when devfs is preferred to device nodes on ufs
  and when device nodes on ufs stopped working
