My proposal would be to decompress the ELF image to some location, lookk if that location overlaps with the places the data is copied to, and if so, determine a large-enough chunk of memory and decompress it to there again
Sorry, NAK. I don't like unneccessary work.
If need be, teach elfboot to peek into compressed streams so that it can tell the decompressor a safe place to decomress to.

Right now, my solution is to mark it nocompress:, before that, I just decompressed it to a fixed location for experimentation. It has to be done one way or the other.
I think the uncompress: marker is fine.
It must be automatic.
I think we really want to freeze lar in the long or even short run.
Certainly, but let's wait until later.
