Johan Hovold reported that removing the legacy ntfs driver broke boot
for him since his fstab uses the legacy ntfs driver to access firmware
from the original Windows partition.

Use ntfs3 as an alias for legacy ntfs if CONFIG_NTFS_FS is selected.
This is similar to how ext3 is treated.

Hey,

This is so far compile tested. It would be great if someone could test
this. @Johan?

Thanks!
Christian

This seems to do the trick. Thanks for the quick fix.

Do we want to do something about the fact that ntfs mounts may now
become writable as well?

We can enforce that mounting as ntfs means that it's read-only unless rw
support is compiled in most likely. @Anton or other maintainers?
