Looks good, but one concern.

I think it's better to use a positive LIBSA_ENABLE_LS_OP option rather
than LIBSA_NO_LS_OP, and make whole (fs_ops)->ls op part optional because
- there are many primary bootloaders (bootxx_foo) which don't need
the ls op and have size restrictions (alpha, atari, pmax ...)
- there are few bootloaders which support command prompt mode where
the `ls' op is actually required (some ports don't have even getchar())
We also have to check all other non-x86 bootloaders which refer ufs_ls().
(ews4800mips, ia64, landisk, x68k, zaurus etc)
