OTOH, requiring _netdev seems rather user-unfriendly. I think the failure mode
is rather unpleasant: everything seems to work, but at shutdown (sometimes)
the fs doesn't get unmounted.

I wouldn't mind adding "all" network filesystems to the list: we
probably already have most of them, and it's not like new ones show up
every week. Actually removing the "fuse." prefix before the check also
seems trivial.

I think the patch should be merged.
