Hi Nick,

thanks for your answer.

Did you send out a pull-request already?

Can you point me to that request or patch of Petr?
Is it relevant or optional for the pull-request?

I have re-tested zstd-v3 patchset with Linux version 5.6 final and
Clang/LLD version 10.0.0 final (from Debian/unstable repository).

Is it possible to mention that there might distro-specific changes
needed to initramfs-handling?
For Debian you are welcome to include below Link [1].
Not sure I will send/ask to/on the debian-kernel mailing list in this topic.

Thanks and bonne chance.
