I've debugged further, and it looks like there is a gap in forwarding
the IN_IGNORED event from inotify.c to filenotify.el. Oops.

Daniel, could you pls try the appended patch? It shall enable this to
work, meaning auto-revert-mode is informed about the unmounted file
system. I've tested with an NFS mount, 'tho.

Best regards, Michael.
