--- Comment #8 from Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> ---
This patch looks good. It leverages code we already have in the boot loader
(inflate.o and friends) so the size increase should be minor (should test t=
he
before/after size).

zstd is also in the boot loader (or at least compiled for the boot loader),=
 so
we could use that instead.

In an ideal world, the boot loader would lose inflate.o and friends and use=
 the
functionality from zstd instead since that's supposed to be a replacement f=
or
it. Since we only use it in gzipfs and pkgfs, perhaps that wouldn't be a he=
avy
lift and that would result in a savings of maybe 20k which I think is going=
 to
be more and more important to look for as the loader slowly bloats over tim=
e.
the EFI loader is in good shape, but the BIOS/CMS loader is getting tight on
space with all we've added to it over the years.
