it would be nice to have a mount option "nofail" indicating that mount should not return an error if the device does not exit. This is useful for hotpluggable devices which are configured in fstab and might not exist at boot time.
We should probably ignore failures of a failed mount syscall too? The device node may exist, even when there is no kernel device at the moment as as some subsystems like md create a bunch of nodes unconditionally.
