Ah.  Well, it was worth a try.  Since /boot and /usr/lib/modules are on
the same filesystem (in the particular case of the installer rootfs),
could they at least be hardlinked?  Although theoretically compressing
it should save that space I guess.

I still might play around with some overlay or bind-mount trickeration
to remove duplication from the boot ISO and rootfs.  Seems like that
should still pass muster... but I know zilch about FIPS mode.

And there's still the ISO duplication between images/pxelinux and
isolinux vmlinuz+initrd.img.  I think the initrd.img might have been
different at one point, but it seems like that was a very long time ago.
