PATCH 1/1 linux-headers: switch to xz format

The headers and kernels where changed to XZ format on commit 98b5cc3eb4d4103b2149325b98a5e93e68c68dd8, but the headers reverted back to bz2 on the packaging of the toolchain.
This causes double kernel downloads when the versions match, so switch back the headers to XZ.

Gaah, thanks, indeed. Sorry for the mis-merge, it has been quite challenging to rebase my toolchain changes, since it was each time causing huge conflicts, amongst which it was hard to make sure I re-applied all the changes that had been made on toolchain/.

Thanks,

Thomas

No problem, it was better to apply it and get it rolling for the border cases.
I personally didn't have time to test it before.
I'll be sending some other toolchain patches that i didn't send before to avoid stalling the toolchain packaging since it was long overdue, and they're simple so no sweat in rebasing them.
Regards.

Great thanks. Looking forward to see your toolchain patches. Hopefully, you'll find the new stuff a bit easier to work with than the old toolchain/ code.

Best regards,

Thomas
