Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kmod 28

kmod 28 is out:

- Improvements
	- Add Zstandard to the supported compression formats using libzstd
	  (pass --with-zstd to configure)

- Bug fixes
	- Ignore ill-formed kernel command line, e.g. with "ivrs_acpihid[00:14.5]=AMD0020:0"
	  option in it
	- Fix some memory leaks
	- Fix 0-length builtin.alias.bin: it needs at least the index header
