<p>An update that contains one feature can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for kmod fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use in-kernel decompression if available (jsc#PED-16303):<ul>
<li>libkmod:<ul>
<li>Add a separate function to load the file contents when it's needed.
When it's not needed on the path of loading modules via finit_module(),
there is no need to mmap the file.</li>
<li>Extract 2 functions to handle finit_module vs init_modules differences,
with a fallback from the former to the latter.</li>
<li>Don't only set the type as direct, but also keep track of the compression being used.</li>
<li>When creating the context, read /sys/kernel/compression to check.
what's the compression type supported by the kernel.</li>
<li>Use kernel decompression when available</li>
<li>add fallback MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_FILE define</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
