    Now that all compressed files get moved to the early uncompressed CPIO,
    there is no need to recompress kernel modules and their firmware with a
    weaker compression. I.e. Arch's kernel modules and firmware are
    compressed with zstd at level `19`, while mkinitcpio defaults to zstd's
    default level `3`.
    
    Having the kernel decompress modules and firmware upon loading them,
    instead of decompressing a larger initramfs image, also apparently
    improves boot speed on some slower CPUs.
