The filesystem options declared for the root file system are apparently
ignored. This happens for a btrfs root filesystem on a LUKS volume.

Exerpt from '/etc/config.scm":

           (options "autodefrag,compress=lzo")
           (dependencies mapped-devices))
         (file-system
           (mount-point "/home/guillaume")
           (device "/dev/mapper/cryptguillaume")
           (type "btrfs")
           (options "autodefrag,compress=lzo")
           (dependencies mapped-devices))
         %base-file-systems))

Here we see that the options 'autodefrag' and 'compress=lzo' have
disappeared on the root filesystem. Maybe it has something to do with
the new '/gnu/store' subvolume that appeared?
