My bad, looks like it's actually gzip-compressed there as well, sans ~4k
of uncompressed cpio archive that goes before main gzip-compressed cpio
archive. It contains CPU microcode data, this seems to be feature of
EL7's microcode_ctl (Fedora doesn't do that).

Still doesn't explain 755 permissions issue, seems like a bug to me...
