[Cooker] lzma compression usage breaks xen loading

[guillomovitch]

According to this user (I couldn't test it myself), lzma compression in
current kernel breaks loading from pvgrub:
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=54775

According to this post, the patch included in our xen package
(http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/xen/devel/xen-341-add-bzip2-lzma-pv-bootloader-support-v2.patch?view=log)
can use bzip2/lzma compression, but not pvggrub:
http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-xen@.../msg02876.html

Is it an option to revert compression to what what used in 2009.1
(bzip2, I presume) at least for kernel-server (the only one with Xen
support enabled) ?

Fixed on svn, will be in next updates (I made only kernel-server to choose
gzip, it was the previous and only choice before bzip/lzma was added).

x86_64 can enable xen and have it enabled for all flavours (desktop and
server), so gzip is being chosen now as well for them, fixed this now too.
We only don't enable xen for kernel desktop/desktop586 on i386 because
it needs pae.
