You can do this right now.  If fstab-sync sees the line device already
exists id doesn't change it.  There will also be a managed noop flag
that will tell us if we are allowed to remove or change the line.

There is an open bug on this.  The great thing about fstab-sync and hal
is it knows a lot about the device so users won't have to know anything
about switches as we can place the correct switches in during the
hotplug.  As I said you are still free to manage fstab yourself.
