Date: Sat,  5 Jun 2021 13:00:17 +0200

Kernel modules are currently compressed with gzip.  In the future switching to
zstd should reduce their size furthermore as well as there load time.

  gnu: kmod: Update to 29.
  gnu: kmod: Add zstd support.

Pushed this one. I'll be glad to review a follow-up series enabling zstd
compression for kernel modules :).

Thanks,

Mathieu
