Subject: [PATCH 16/17] autofs4 - add v4 pseudo direct mount support

From: Ian Kent <raven@...maw.net>

Version 4 of autofs provides a pseudo direct mount implementation
that relies on directories at the leaves of a directory tree under
an indirect mount to trigger mounts.

This patch adds support for that functionality.
