If you want support for multiple decompression algorithms, you can switch
from using zlib_inflate*() directly to calling zlib through the crypto API.
Then you can call crypto_alloc_comp() with the correct decompression algorithm
name.

For squashfs, I had to modify only ca. 40 lines of code.

You do need a new zlib crypto module, as the existing deflate crypto module
uses the raw deflate format instead of the zlib format, and has some parameters
tuned for its use in IPSec.

I hope to have some patches ready next week...

With kind regards,
