For generality i am not sure we want to validate this field other than 
ensuring it contains a non-empty string. Different file systems have 
different ways in which they specify the block device. Another common 
form to identify a block device is for example:

UUID=<xxxxxxx>

Or a file server list:

server1:/path,server2:/path

Trying to list all possible formats for all possible file systems is 
IMHO not something that we should try to do.
