Kconfig-language.txt was deleted in commit 4fa499a17b back in 2006.
Move to docs/ as suggested by Xabier Oneca:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2014-May/080914.html
Also update references to it everywhere.

Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
|
|
filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices.
|
|
The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
|
|
of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
|
|
loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
|
|
with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
|
|
specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.
|
|
(If you don't want umount to free the loop device, use "umount -D".)

help
|
|
Linux kernels >= 2.6.24 support unlimited loopback devices. They are
|
|
allocated for use when trying to use a loop device. The loop device
|
|
must however exist.
|
|
|
|
This feature lets mount to try to create next /dev/loopN device
|
|
if it does not find a free one.

help
|
|
Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
|
|
partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
|
|
the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
|
|
the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
|
|
a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
|
|
|
|
The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
|
|
your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
|
|
If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
|
|
example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
|
|
features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
|
|
that your /etc directory be writable, tends to get easily confused
|
|
by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
|
|
that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
|
|
|
|
About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
|
|
your kernel.
