No -- I've been using those with xen.unstable for quite some time, and
they work fine. Linux copes nicely with these whether or not they're
gzipped.
Well, sort of fine; they're very twitchy about the cpio format, but
that's the case upstream as well. For instance, the cpio image
*absolutely must* include . (as opposed to just containing the files
under its root directory), and there are only two cpio format variants
that are supported (I use newc).
