It's possible, although my xenial vms booted fine with it. I would have
preferred to add this to the list of 'optional' fields before the -,
but there was not a hook for that. As it is, elements in the options
field can be controllers if they are preceded by 'name=' or if they
are kernel controllers (listed in /proc/cgroups). If userspace wants
every field element that it doesn't recognize to be a controller it could
be a problem. As of now though the list of non-controller keywords I
regularly see includes rw, xattr (?), clone_children, release_agent=.
