The mount system call will be implemented by Android, not by gem5. The
system call implementations in gem5 are only used for system call
emulation when you're running a program but not the OS underneath it. I
don't know why your app is unhappy, but it might be from how you're
devices are hooked up or what kind of device they look like to Android.
