Does that really work? What purpose does the ':' serve there? That
should probably be removed. I doubt we'd end up breaking that syntax,
but I can't be certain.

Right, the above syntax would no longer work after the change.

For this patch, you don't need to do anything. It just adds a warning.
Eventually though, nfs-style "devicenames" would no longer work for
cifs mounts. For your map above, you probably want something like:

* -fstype=cifs,rw,sec=krb5 //myserver/myshare/&

(i.e. get rid of the extraneous ':').
