I don't see why we would need this in HAL. fstab is a config file which every 
user can read IIRC and there are also already libraries which make it easy 
for a delevoper to get the info from fstab. 

I would vote against adding this into HAL (HAL is about hardware and not about 
config-file-parsing).
