Probably makes sense since people might want different mount options on
it, later (applied via fstab), and it might be a good idea to separate
the world-writable /dev/shm from /dev, for quota reasons. (I mean, you
know the DoS, and in this case it is simply to fix by using a separate
mount for this...
