I don't think that the booter really has to understand the 4.4 fastfs, if 
it can read the kernel, that's all it has to do.  The kernel itself 
_does_ understand the newer filesystem, so it should be able to mount it 
just fine.  The Mkfs utility still doesn't understand the newer 
filesystem, though (unless someone has done something really recently and 
not announced it).

Later.
