What should mount /sys/fs/fuse/connections?

Hello,

I'm maintainer of libfuse. libfuse ships with a SysV init script[1] that
I'd like to replace with a systemd unit file. It currently does just two
things:

1. loads fuse kernel module
2. mounts fusectl filesystem at /sys/fs/fuse/connections

I don't think there is a need to retain the function to load the kernel
module (that's probably better done by eg. /etc/modules), but I am not
sure how to migrate the mounting of the control filesystem.

My gut feeling is that this should be done by udev in response to the
fuse kernel module being loaded. Is that correct? If so, does libfuse
need to install a systemd unit (or probably rather a udev rules file) in
order for this to happen? Or should things just work(tm) nowadayS

Thanks,
-Nikolaus
