Subject: libxc: don't fail domain creation when unpacking initrd fails
From: Jan Beulich jbeulich@suse.com Tue Feb 6 17:29:33 2018 +0100

At least Linux kernels have been able to work with gzip-ed initrd for
quite some time; initrd compressed with other methods aren't even being
attempted to unpack. Furthermore the unzip-ing routine used here isn't
capable of dealing with various forms of concatenated files, each of
which was gzip-ed separately (it is this particular case which has been
the source of observed VM creation failures).

Hence, if unpacking fails, simply hand the compressed blob to the guest
as is.
