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"

# ZSTD
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Appends the uncompressed size of the data using size_append. The .zst
# format has the size information available at the beginning of the file too,
# but it's in a more complex format and it's good to avoid changing the part
# of the boot code that reads the uncompressed size.
#
# Note that the bytes added by size_append will make the zstd tool think that
# the file is corrupt. This is expected.
#
# zstd uses a maximum window size of 8 MB. zstd22 uses a maximum window size of
# 128 MB. zstd22 is used for kernel compression because it is decompressed in a
# single pass, so zstd doesn't need to allocate a window buffer. When streaming
# decompression is used, like initramfs decompression, zstd22 should likely not
# be used because it would require zstd to allocate a 128 MB buffer.
