Your justification for building in squashfs seems a bit fuzzy. Don't you have to pack an initrd anyway ? You've obviously got a working solution, so what does this change actually fix ?
Is snapd really seeded in s390x, powerpc, and ppc64el ?

Title:
  build squashfs into xenial kernels by default

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
