which lower filesystems are actually supported?

According to the documentation, "The lower filesystem can be any filesystem
supported by Linux", however this appears to not actually be the case, since
using a vfat filesystem results in the mount command printing "mount:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on overlay, missing codepage or
helper program, or other error", with dmesg saying "overlayfs: filesystem on
'/boot' not supported".
(that's from ovl_mount_dir_noesc(), when ovl_dentry_weird() returns nonzero)

Should vfat be supported, or is the documentation wrong? If the documentation
is wrong, what other filesystems are (not) supported?
