I don't have a good answer on that.  There are a number of places in the
phosphor tree that is either using 'lzma' directly or something like
'cpio.${INITRAMFS_CTYPE}', so we seem to be assuming there is
compression support in the kernel.

Milton was mentioning we probably need some clean up of all these
variables due to some changes in Yocto 2.1, so I'd vote we leave as is
and figure out a better approach then.
