bzImage doesn't refer to bzip. See
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kbuild/commands.txt for details:
-------------------------------------------------------------->
Note: the difference between 'zImage' files and 'bzImage' files
is that 'bzImage' uses a different layout and a different
loading algorithm, and thus has a larger capacity. Both files
use gzip compression. The 'bz' in 'bzImage' stands for 'big
zImage', not for 'bzip'!
