This is a semi-internal option. The end-user may want to change it. Though in reality this is aimed toward device integrators that integrate a device with a small boot partition.
(And normalize kernel config)
This makes it go from ~7MiB to ~5MiB, which ends up fitting in the boot partition.

Thanks for thinking of Mobile NixOS!
Oh, looking at it again, there is a change that will break. Though it looks like there's not much breakage. |

In turn,
motorola-addison's initrd is now compressed withxz, which works around its biggest issue: it wouldn't fit in the 16MiB boot partition.
