Added that.

Seems to work for me:

[/tmp]# mount -onoatime foo /mnt/vol1

The autodetection works for /dev/sd* and /dev/mmcblk*, but not for most
other devices.

Two examples:
nbd to a piece of rotating rust says:
[45697.575192] BTRFS info (device nbd0): detected SSD devices, enabling SSD mode
loop on tmpfs (and in case it spills, all swap is on ssd):
claims it's rotational

These two options are nice whenever the autodetection goes wrong.

M'kay, updated this patch.

Not sure if there's much point.  In any case, that's a separate patch.
Should I add one while we're here?
