But in case of squashfs the kernel can cache the decompressed data, it doesn't
have to be decompressed again and again. Also I guess if depmod reads only
small parts of a *.ko, squashfs will not decompress the whole file.

Thanks for the patches! Adding Milan for mkinitrd. BTW if you want to build
kmps with *.ko.gz, then you also need to fix /usr/lib/rpm/find-*.ksyms.
Actually I'll fix find-provides.ksyms myself to be able to extract provides
from compressed vmlinux.gz/vmlinuz.
