That's odd;  I don't think there is such a thing as sysfs on FreeBSD.
Actually what happened here is:
* linsysfs gets mounted on /sys
* linprocfs gets mounted on /proc

And I guess because /proc/mounts is trying to emulate Linux, it pretends
that /sys is sysfs - I guess some applications expect that:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.1/sys/compat/linprocfs/linprocfs.c?view=annotate&sortby=file#l365

But /proc/mounts still identifies /proc itself as linprocfs.  If it
didn't, then it would be ambiguous and even more confusing.
