Public bug reported:

snapd is seeded in all images in xenial by default and snaps are
squashfs files.

the snappy images need squashfs available at boot time and use official
kernels.

currently squashfs is the only module that forces us to re-pack initrds
to add it everywhere for snappy images, in that light it would be really
helpful to have squashfs built into the kernel instead of it being a
module.
