s390x kernel image needs weightwatchers

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/current/images/cdrom/vmlinuz

is 6.6M

http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/kernel.debian

is 12M

Yet, s390x has much less drivers. I would have expected it to be slimmer than amd64.
