Section 5 is supposed to be about file formats, but
manual pages for devfs, ext2fs, fdescfs, linprocfs,
linsysfs, procfs, msdosfs, mqueuefs and reiserfs are
present in it.  Most of these manual pages appear
to fit elsewhere since they do not talk about file format,
perhaps section 4 (drivers & kernel modules).  ffs is
documented in section 7 (miscellaneous).  pseudofs resides
in section 9.  This should also be in section 4, like
miibus(4).
