This is wrong.  diskfs_init_main is a convenience function for diskfs
filesystems that use a store, and can be the bootstrap filesystem.  A
diskfs filesystem not taking a store argument cannot use diskfs_init_main.
Take for example tmpfs.

You are mistaken.  If you would like to make the diskfs.h comments more
clear on the situation as it really is, then such changes would be welcome.
