linux-postmarketos-exynos4: reduce boot image size

I'm marking this as a work in progress for now as with this, the device boots to a "initramfs-extra not found" splash screen. If anyone has any ideas regarding what could be causing this I'd like to hear them.

Set module compression algorithm to xz instead of zstd and it works fine on samsung-m0 and samsung-p4note now.

the device boots to a "initramfs-extra not found" splash screen

Can you get logs from it? Can you get into debug-shell telnet and do cat /init, . /init_functions.sh and execute the functions in order as listed in /init and see what's happening? https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Inspecting_the_initramfs

If anyone has any ideas

can be anything, busybox does not support zstd in its modprobe?

That was precisely the problem.
