Hi,

We previously attempted to turn on zboot with zstd on arm64 but that had
a regression with qemu -kernel unable to boot it; and kexec unable to
load it either.

However qemu has gained support for zboot with gzip compression; and
there are patches for kexec too.

Thus it should be safe to turn on zboot gzip, install it as vmlinuz
without anybody noticing.

It should also just work for Ubuntu core.

Signing should work too, as it checks if vmlinuz is compressed and
decompresses only when needed for signing.

Please turn on zboot gzip. Please consider to sru that (as long as kexec
tools supports it).
