[LinuxBIOS] selection of compression algorithm

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

what was the motivation to select nrv2b for compression?
Speed? Size of decompressor? Coding style?

Size   File
843910 vmlinux.bin
437684 vmlinux.bin.nrv2b
430890 vmlinux.bin.gz
414679 vmlinux.bin.bz2
357609 vmlinux.bin.7z

If the 7z decompressor is less than 80 kb bigger than
the nrv2b decompressor, would it make sense to switch?


Regards,
Carl-Daniel
