Subject: [PATCH] mkdumprd: replace lz4hc with lzma for better compression in
squash image
Among the compression algorithms currently enabled in RHEL-10,
erofs+lzma has a higher compression ratio than lz4hc, this patch
will replace it with lzma.
Testing shows when using erofs+lz4hc in RHEL-10, the size of the
initramfs generated for local dump is 47M, and the size for nfs
dump is 57M. After using lzma, the size is reduced to 39M and 45M.
This is very closely compared to the 38M and 44M when using
squashfs+zstd.
