I heard this is due to new util-linux. My initrd was from 3rd Jan, but
util-linux installed on 5th Jan. I've regenerated my initrd so will
reboot sometime today to see if it now breaks with the new version of mount.

We maybe need to patch mount? I don't think it's really the kernel
that's at fault here.
