    This change reverts the 033b96fd commit
    from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
    Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
    new device has been mounted.  These events are not correctly emitted,
    and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
    future program.  Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
    properly detect this kind of event.
    
    A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
    interface will be removed from the kernel.
