I just pushed Linux module compression support with
755f365b02b42a5d1e8ef3000dadef069553a478 and
5fe12be0dd03d1a316343549f8c131d931f21a9a.

The build-side module (gnu build linux-modules) now uses (zlib)
module. This means that derivations that effectively rely on reading
compressed modules (such as "linux-modules"), need to add "guile-zlib"
as an extension.

Thanks,

Mathieu
