Why does it support decompression of full chunks only (i.e. all compressed > data has to be passed at once)?

Other zlib users like ppp or jffs2 user zlib directly. However, the crypto API is the only place in kernel which provides you a generic interface for compression. >Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed, and >http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-crypto doesn't list any archives.
