FWIW I wrote the attached way back when, it uses the payload_* fields in
the bzImage to find the payload rather than scanning (these are present
in bzImages from somewhere in the mid 2.6.2x range). I'd be happy to
license it under the GPLv2 if that is helpful.

xen 3.4 does, doesn't it (at least the tip of 3.4-testing.hg does)? And
I thought e.g. RHEL5 (which uses an older base version) had it
backported. Possibly what is missing is support for all the various
compression options.
