Can you remove some other compressor for the kernel image if you merge this?
The "favourite compressor" seems to roughly change every year, so if
we keep adding new ones things will get more and more convoluted.
Surely zstd is universally better than some existing compressor
the kernel already uses for itself for a particular sweet spot?
If it isn't it's likely not needed.
