Sorry for the slow response, the xz compressed modules seems a bit of a
random choice by the rpi people. I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense
to use a kernel config fragment to just disable that rather than
enforcing kmod?
Or do they enable so many modules that they really take up a huge space
(and not fitting in our default rootfs size)?
