EROFS [1] is a lightweight read-only filesystem designed for performance
which has already been shipped in most Linux distributions as well as widely
used in several scenarios, such as Android system partitions, container
images, and rootfs for embedded devices.
This patch brings EROFS uncompressed support. Now, it's possible to boot
directly through GRUB with an EROFS rootfs.
EROFS compressed files will be supported later since it has more work to
polish.
