Help text

Create the bootable image as an EFI application that carries the actual kernel image in compressed form, and decompresses it into memory before executing it. For compatibility with non-EFI loaders, the payload can be decompressed and executed by the loader as well, provided that the loader implements the decompression algorithm. (The compression algorithm used is described in the zboot header)
