Nard Compression

[Ronny Nilsson]

Hi
Likely you can change at least initramfs to XZ. Check the CONFIG_RD_XZ and 
CONFIG_XZ_DEC config options. However, it won't free up any RAM for you since 
initramfs is decompressed during boot (as well as zImage). I think zram 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram is your best option if you need more mem.
