This has been discussed along with the HAL people a while
ago. Actually, file systems can introduce a refcount, where we need a
decrement function which automatically unmounts the filesystem if we
decrement the use count to zero. Kind of an automatic umount.

How do you tell which file systems shall be autoumounted? HAL
suggestion: introduce a no-op mount option. For some classes of fs'es
we might as well make that obligatory, such as tar.
