According to my reading of the release notes that you linked to either
nofail or noauto on the appropriate line in the fstab is supposed to do
just that. Reading further at
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.mount.html I
think nofail is the one you want in your particular case:
With nofail this mount will be only wanted, not required, by
local-fs.target or remote-fs.target. This means that the boot
will continue even if this mount point is not mounted
successfully.
You might need to regenerate the initramfs and reflash the kernel+initrd
afterwards.
