+/*
+ * ARM64 PE compressed Image (vmlinuz, ZBOOT) support.
+ *
+ * Several distros use 'make zinstall' rule inside
+ * 'arch/arm64/boot/Makefile' to install the arm64
+ * ZBOOT compressed file inside the boot destination
+ * directory (for e.g. /boot).
+ *
+ * Currently we cannot use kexec_file_load() to load vmlinuz
+ * PE images that self decompress.
+ *
+ * To support ZBOOT, we should:
+ * a). Copy the compressed contents of vmlinuz to a temporary file.
+ * b). Decompress (gunzip-decompress) the contents inside the
+ *     temporary file.
+ * c). Validate the resulting image and write it back to the
+ *     temporary file.
+ * d). Pass the 'fd' of the temporary file to the kernel space.
+ *
+ * Note this, module doesn't provide a _load() function instead
+ * relying on image_arm64_load() to load the resulting decompressed
+ * image.
+ *
+ * So basically the kernel space still gets a decompressed
+ * kernel image to load via kexec-tools.
