Module bzimage 

Support for loading Linux x86 bzImage files directly.

A bzImage is the standard compressed kernel image format on x86/x86_64. It consists of a real-mode boot sector, setup code, and a compressed payload that the kernel’s own startup stub decompresses at boot time. This format is specific to x86; AArch64 uses a different Image format.

See the Linux kernel documentation for the boot protocol: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/arch/x86/boot.html
