Bug description:
  Original Bug Text
  =================

  I found that I could enable LZ4 compression for initramfs on my vivid
  machine by installing liblz4-tool package, adding one line to
  mkinitramfs and installing a kernel compiled with CONFIG_CRYPTO_LZ4=y.

  Please include support for (legacy) LZ4.

  Attached patch includes changes made to the latest version (initramfs-
  tools_0.120ubuntu3).
