On aarch64 it is the bootloader's job to uncompress the kernel.  UEFI
4ced99
and u-boot bootloaders do this automatically when the kernel is
4ced99
gzip-compressed.
4ced99
4ced99
However the qemu -kernel option does not do this.  The following
4ced99
command does not work:
4ced99
4ced99
  qemu-system-aarch64 [...] -kernel /boot/vmlinuz
4ced99
4ced99
because it tries to execute the gzip-compressed data.
4ced99
4ced99
This commit lets gzip-compressed kernels be uncompressed
4ced99
transparently.
4ced99
4ced99
Currently this is only done when emulating aarch64.
