The default format for arm64 Linux kernels is the "Image" format, described in Documentation/arm64/booting.txt. This, along with an optional gzip compression on top is all that is generated by default. The Image format has a magic number within the header for verification, a text_offset where the Image must be run from and reserved fields.
This does not support automatic detection of a gzip compressed image.

As I mentioned at ELC, I would prefer to see bootz and booti combined so we have a single "boot a plain kernel image" command. I'd rather see the command be smart enough to figure what the image is rather than the user have to figure out the right command. Of course with this argument, then everything should be a bootm command. IIRC, there would be some challenges to add bootz or booti functionality into bootm.

Don't you at least know the load size or the decompressed size? Only the .bss size is missing and you only need that to have some checks for overlapping images.
