A global list is good, maintaining it in util-linux is stupid. This
needs to be in the kernel as that's where we have all the data. IMHO
a flag in struct file_system_type thast gets exposed in
/proc/filesystems and maybe even a flag to the new mount API to tell
"this is an automount" and refuse it it the trusted flag is not set
will work much better. That way we can also easily upgrade/downgrade
the status of a file system as needed.
