The correct way to perform this check is to call fstatfs() on the file
descriptor and examine f_fstypename[] to see what it is. You probably
shouldn't look explicitly at the type name; use getvfsbyname() on the
type name; if (vfc_flags & VFCF_SYNTHETIC) then the contents of the
file system are generated by the kernel.
