It actually has use (for my 20 MHz 386 *hug*)

You bet. Well, "inline" is, as far as I hear the voices of the C standard, just
a "hint" to the compiler that this function should be inlined. If it cannot do
that, well, then do not inline it. But you have a point, it gets interesting
when "inline" expands to __attribute__((always_inline)). Well, let's hope that
gcc 'carries the inlining over' into gunzip().

Yup.

It is because some arches seem to have a arch-specific "output function"
called puts() try the following:

$ grep -r 'puts(' arch/arm26/
(results)
$ grep -r 'puts(' arch/i386/
(no results)

So yes, I would need some advice what people were thinking here. If it
was not for this arch specific stuff, the putstr() function I added in
lib/ would also be gone and the "*" could be directly printed in
gunzip(), making the extra argument to gunzip superfluous.

The extra putstr() in init/initramfs.c [cf. putstr() in lib/inflate.c]
is also something I did not know how to really do better.

Thoughts are appreciated and stylofixed patch below.
(lib/inflate.c does not even use tabs, what could I possibly do more wrong than
already? :p)

Shows some stars during decompression. This is particularly useful on old 386s
where one asterisk is probably printed every second - making the long linux and
initramfs uncompress progress more evident.
Not compile tested outside {i386, x86_64} - don't have other machines.
