feature request: please support direct kernel boot of recent ubuntu kernel, compressed with LZ4

[Pry Mar]

hello,

Looking in tree: grub-core/io

there is support for various compression types, except for LZ4.

I would like to script a pvgrub2 kernel for x86_64-xen and
i386-xen_pvh modules that can direct kernel boot the latest Ubuntu
kernels. I believe that new LZ4 support is needed in grub-core/io to
do this.

It seems that Ubuntu has used LZ4 compression without any
consideration for these changes in grub2. I have checked here too:

https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team

Since grub2 development is shared between both platforms: Debian & Ubuntu.

cheers,
