yes.

There are patches suggested/queued for 3.4 to get full XZ support for 
arm so maybe we can backport them for 3.3 depending on how intrusive 
they are...

Thinking some more about the issue, adding something like .[g,x]z to
to the module detection wouldn't be much coding at all and would cover
both compressions, wdyt ?
