[PATCH 5/6] powerpc/boot: add xz support to the wrapper script
Oliver O'Halloran

Thu Sep 22 16:54:33 AEST 2016
This modifies the script so that the -Z option takes an argument to
specify the compression type. It can either be 'gz', 'xz' or 'none'.
The legazy --no-gzip and -z options are still supported and will set
the compression to none and gzip respectively, but they are not
documented.
Only xz -6 is used for compression rather than xz -9. Using compression
levels higher than 6 requires the decompressor to build a large (64MB)
dictionary when decompressing and some environments cannot satisfy large
allocations (e.g. POWER 6 LPAR partition firmware).
