Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main change in this cycle was to add support for ZSTD-compressed
  kernel and initrd images.

  ZSTD has a very fast decompressor, yet it compresses better than gzip"

help
ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
with fast decompression speed. It will compress better than GZIP and
decompress around the same speed as LZO, but slower than LZ4. You
will need at least 192 KB RAM or more for booting. The zstd command
line tool is required for compression.
