Before your patch we could use any supported file system (e.g. EXT2). I
see no need for a restriction to FAT. You could compare the string to
"unsupported":

if (!strcmp(fs_get_type_name(), "unsupported"))
	return 0;

But wouldn't it be preferable to have a function to access fs_type (in
fs/fs.c) directly instead of a string representation?

Otherwise we should convert the string "unsupported" of fstypes[] into a
constant in fs.h so that we can be sure we are using the same value.

Best regards
