From: "huangjie.albert" <huangjie.albert@...edance.com>

Although the compressed kernel can save the time of loading the
kernel into the memory and save the disk space for storing the kernel,
but in some time-sensitive scenarios, the time for decompressing the
kernel is intolerable. Therefore, it is necessary to support uncompressed
kernel images, so that the time of kernel decompression can be saved when
the kernel is started.

This part of the time on my machine is approximately:
image type      image  size      times
compressed(gzip) 8.5M            159ms
uncompressed     53M             8.5ms
