We've had btrfs driver built-in to the kernel by default for a long time, along with btrfs-tools installed. The big issue. U-Boot doesn't support btrfs, there was a patch, but it wasn't merged. So you'll need atleast a fat/ext partition for u-boot to read the kernel, initrd and device tree binaries. But once you have the kernel loaded, you can customize your btrfs partitions to your hearts delight.
