Maybe, yes. For now I've made the code here much more generic to make
it easier to ask about other filesystems, and added a check for
/boot/efi too.

*If* the /boot fs is broken, attempting to auto-mount is probably not
a good plan. This is about the only sensible way to allow people to
control that, I guess.
