From my side unknown, if dracut and booster can handle compressed firmware files.
For dracut this is supposed to work [1], though note that I haven't tested this myself on Arch. Booster seems to read the name of the firmware file from the kernel module [2], then use that name to find the file in the firmware directory [3,4]. It seems as if the appendFirmwareFiles() function might need to get patched to look for `fwPath + ".xz"` in addition to `fwPath`, though I could be totally wrong here.
