How does the code figure out whether auto-reverting the buffer is needed? I mean, there's no visited-time to check, right? So maybe we should add a `auto-revert-stale-function' which dired and buffer-menu can set. This will clean up the current staleness checking function since it will only have to work for file-buffers, and will make sure that revert-buffer-function is only called by auto-revert for modes which have auto-revert support.
