I had applied this, but then reverted it.  I think that the consistency
of having them named foofs is better than caring about the module name.
Especially as in general, we shouldn't have to know what the
module/filesystem name is and just run mount.  And I filed a bug to get
libblkid fixed so that `mount squashfs.img /path/to/mountpoint` will
work without having to pass -t squashfs
