Assuming it's ok that the modules won't always be present - i.e. they're only built on powerpc - the modules will be:
nx-compress
nx-compress-crypto
nx-compress-
nx-compress-pseries
nx-compress-powernv
842-decompress
the 842-compress module actually isn't needed; the 842-compress and 842-decompress modules are only the "reference implementation" in software, and due to the specifics of the 842 format they are very painfully slow; 842 is really only suited to be done in custom hardware.
The 842-decompress module is needed, because the 842 hardware driver falls back to using it if the hardware fails or is disabled, so that decompression never fails.
but including the 842-compress module doesn't hurt anything.
