Pulled. However, these are kind of odd.

For trying _remount_ something read-only, isofs returns the logical
EROFS error code.

But for trying to mount it in the first place, it returns EACCES,
which sounds insane. It's not a permission problem - no amount of
permissions will ever make it work.

UDF always does EACCES, regardless of mount/remount.

Is there some fundamental reason for the insane error code? Does user
space do the wrong thing if we were to just always return "EROFS"
which makes much more sense?
