[Bug 1180236] (Enhancement) Support ZSTD compressed kernel, ramdisk, initramfs and firmware on kernel 5.10 or greater

The rest is rather the change in dracut. The kernel compression itself has been kept in GZ for simplicity. The module compression is done in another way than the kernel config, and it's very unlikely we switch to zstd for now, as it needs to touch quite many other places (obs-pesign, rpm-config, dracut and suse-module-tools, as well as other user-space stuff like yast2-sound and such checking the module files). So, at most, a possible low-hanging fruit is the kernel compression itself, but I'm not sure whether it's 100% safe or it's worth. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
