As I don't need OverlayFS in my daily life, I have it here built as a module.

Nevertheless, as module or built-in /me as an end-user wants to know
what's going on.
So, dmesg is normally my first weapon.

I grep-ed trrough a bit through all the filesystems in fs/ and it is
not handled unique.

"Loaded" BTW is not the right term in FS-folks-jargon: The functions
are called (un)register_filesystem().

$ dmesg | grep -i loaded

I am not sure whether those lines "blabla: module loaded" is true for
loop (block) it is a hardcoded printk-line.
I doubt...

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y

Last but not least, user-space apps like GRUB trigger fs loaded.
For me this is helpful.
You might be bored or whatever reason I can't or don't want to understand.

And just to have some fun about status informations:
Check your drm (kms) driver with date and version :-).
Stuff that is not maintained should be thrown out (yes, I had sent patches...).
