Justin Cormack fb98564ecc Add squashfs support to the kernel config
This is a useful read only filesystem for images that is efficient and
small as it supports compression.

For many use cases, when you are writing to media, it makes more sense than
using an initramfs as it does not require RAM, and it is more suitable for
disk media than ISO.

See ../docs/kernel-patches.md for more information on kernel builds.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
