aarch64: Allow -kernel option to take a gzip-compressed kernel.
On aarch64 it is the bootloader's job to uncompress the kernel. UEFI and u-boot bootloaders do this automatically when the kernel is gzip-compressed. However the qemu -kernel option does not do this. The following command does not work: qemu-system-aarch64 [...] -kernel /boot/vmlinuz because it tries to execute the gzip-compressed data. This commit lets gzip-compressed kernels be uncompressed transparently. Currently this is only done when emulating aarch64. Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.
