Well, /bin/mount is kinda API of Linux, you cannot just change that. All
systems must provide that, the same way as /bin/sh, reagrdless whether
/ and /usr is merged or not. There's really not much point in making this
configurable, we don't really want to support systems which move things
wildly around into the strangest places.
