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:
