[Nix-dev] kmod: gzip/xz support

Hi!

Currently kmod binary links both to libz and liblzma. This means that these 
libraries have to be added to the initrd (I already use kmod instead of 
module-init-tools).

On the other hand, our kernel package does not compress modules. I think 
that we should
* either drop gzip/xz in kmod,
* or compress kernel modules.

Which one do you prefer?
