Create a CM4 carrier for V2 #13

It would be awesome if you could choose to use either rpi zerow or a CM4 module. Maybe you could make a conversion carrier? The volume seems to jive. I guess heat might be an issue though.

Hummm... I didn't realize that the rpi zero 2W was a quad core. I just read that here:

https://beepberry.sqfmi.com/docs/software/os-image

Pi Zero 2W Settings

Restrict number of cores to limit peak power use - the Zero 2W can be limited to use 
two cores and is still much faster than the pi zero, but peak power use is nearly 
half of what 4 cores will use.

    sudo vi /boot/cmdline.txt
    Add "maxcpus=2" after "console=tty1".
    Reboot

Maybe the CM4 doesn't bring much to the table aside from more RAM and EMMC.
