[Bug 1488620] [NEW] Add LZ4 support

 

Public bug reported:

I found that I could enable LZ4 compression for initramfs on my vivid
machine by installing liblz4-tool package, adding one line to
mkinitramfs and installing a kernel compiled with CONFIG_CRYPTO_LZ4=y.

Please include support for (legacy) LZ4.

Attached patch includes changes made to the latest version (initramfs-
tools_0.120ubuntu3).

** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
