The only thing that I'm aware of that uses it is 3 scripts in the LTP:

# grep -l "proc/filesystem" */*
testscripts/autofs1.sh
testscripts/autofs4.sh
testscripts/exportfs.sh

currently we don't run the tests that use these scripts.  The first
two scripts check if the autofs is available, while the last one
checks if the requested filesystem is available.

NOTE: the scripts do more than this check for the filesystem.

It does uses a translation table, but I haven't been able to verify
all of the filesystem names against the names used on a linux system
(i.e cd9660 -> iso9660(?)).
