I was able to get __DISABLE_EXPORTS to work. However, that still leaves the
MODULE_LICENSE() and MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in. I would prefer to use
the same method other decompressors use, because it is a well tested route and
debugging is hard in the preboot environment. If you feel strongly about it I will
change it.

I will plan on submitting a v3 tomorrow morning that fixes the style nits, and
splits PREBOOT into XXH_PREBOOT and ZSTD_PREBOOT.

Thanks for reviewing the patches!
