We have can_yaboot_read funtion, which checks if yaboot is capable to
read such fs.

[[ "$fs" == @(ext2|ext3|msdos|vfat|reiserfs|iso9660|xfs) ]] || return 1;

ext4 case handled in the same way, as root on lvm handled.
At least under PowerVM vfat partition is created, so we can load the
initrd and then a kernel from anywhere we want.
