Comment:
Yes, sorry; `MODULES_DECOMPRESS=yes` is the (new) default behavior that tries to decompress kernel modules, but setting to `no` (actually anything other than `yes`) will restore the original behavior of copying the modules in as they appear on disk.
Frankly, I don't really see the benefit of decompressing modules. It might trivially improve boot times because critical modules loaded by the initramfs don't need to be decompressed after the initramfs image is loaded, but a) how many modules are people really loading in an initramfs image that the difference is even measurable; and b) it increases the memory footprint of the initramfs, although this is an ephemeral cost.
