fs module autoloading is used only for interractive commands and is last
resort on booting. In particular it isn't done if correct module is
already inserted. So just insmod <your fs> before accessing your
filesystem. Look at grub-mkconfig on how it's done

* commands/search.c (search_fs): Try searching without autoload
first.
* util/grub-mkconfig_lib.in (prepare_grub_to_access_device): Load
filesystem module explicitly for faster booting.
