Possible, but I suspect that it has no good effect. When you load filesystem
modules, GRUB will access several blocks even if caching is efficient. The
overhead of trying to mount UFS2 is only 4 accesses. So my feeling is that
this would be negligible.
Anyway, I will implement a simple one first. If it looks too slow, we can
improve it later.
