We do something like this already on SUSE. We skip check e.g. NFS mounts 
because this can freeze the hole hal and applications using HAL freeze or 
fail, if you have NFS stale mountpoints in the system and because we never 
provide infos in HAL about NFS mounts (hence, we don't need to stat them).

I attach the patch from SUSE against 0.5.6. If okay, I commit the patch to 
CVS.

Cheers,
