There isn't really any reason to use gzip instead of bzip2 for the Linux
initramfs/kernel, since we have it!
Saves a few MB (~13MB as far as I can tell)
This is a continuation of the 4.14 series by the Open Enterprise Linux
Alliance, ostensibly to the same maintenance standards as the now
discontinued kernel.org LTS.
This code is primarily offered as a Git repository, with gz tarballs
also available, but no xz versions. Switching back to a gzipped version
of the kernel source code would introduce too much srcfs growth, so we
use the last kernel.org tar.xz release (4.14.336), and apply OpenELA's
changes using a patch generated from the Git repository.
