Bug#618029: Uses gzip compression for the uInitrd which is already zipped



The way I see it is that any decompression done by u-boot may or may not
be done with caches enabled, depending on the vendor. Whereas
decompression done in the kernel will always be done with caches enabled
for sure.

I think the kernel is also able to handle other forms of compression
than gzip for the image (at least potentially, I haven't actually
checked if it does, but  it does for the kernel itself).

It's also possible that the kernel could decompress directly into the
final location, potentially saving a copy.

So I'd be inclined to switch to "-C none" in the absence of any reason
to the contrary.

Ian.
