The branch is now in a state that can be tested. Turns out the memory requirements are too much for grub, so the boot fails with "not enough memory". The calculated value ZSTD_BTRFS_MAX_INPUT: 131072 ZSTD_DStreamWorkspaceBound with ZSTD_BTRFS_MAX_INPUT: 549424 This is not something I could fix easily, we'd probalby need a tuned version of ZSTD for grub constraints.
