I had to do a bit of goofing around with initctl list, but I basically
listen for these events:

"start on stopped mounted-dev": mkfs.btrfs.  It seems fast enough, and
is worth the checksumming to me.
"start on stopped cloud-config-mounts": mkdir /mnt/tmp, chmod ugo+rwxt
to make a new temp directory

It seems to work, does that look sound to you?
