PSA: Linux filesystem drivers from OCBinaryData might not work, try rEFInd drivers

I was trying to add freshly installed Fedora to OpenCore via OpenLinuxBoot. It has the benefit of automatically recognizing kernels with corresponding configs, and it hides older kernels as auxilliary. I dropped OpenLinuxBoot.efi and ext4_x64.efi into Drivers, added them to config, and... It didn't work, and I've tried everything from playing with ScanPolicy to running in debug mode to praying to Cthulhu.

Then I've noticed a line in manual that said "Be aware that these drivers are not tested for relaibility". And somewhere else there was a suggestion to use rEFInd drivers. Replaced ext4 driver, and indeed it worked.
