Do you mean just the 'ad hoc' MIPS schemes, or across the whole gamut of
Linux architectures?
The problem isn't so much the compression mechanics, but the BSP/LSP.
It would be helpful if there was one architecture that was
considered the 'ideal'. Though I haven't actually used it:
arch/ppc/boot appears very flexible, and adheres to a strict
layout and naming convention.
