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.

Thanks,
