The compressor to use on the initrd image. May be any of:
- A string representing a command available in stdenv, e.g. "xz";
- A function which, given the nixpkgs package set, returns the path to a compressor tool, e.g. pkgs: "''${pkgs.pigz}/bin/pigz"
- (not recommended, because it does not work when cross-compiling) the full path to a compressor tool, e.g. "''${pkgs.pigz}/bin/pigz"
