>From 2e9f3bddcbc711bb14d86c6f068a779bf3710247 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: H. Peter Anvin Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2009 15:41:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bzip2/lzma: make config machinery an arch configurable Impact: Bug fix (we should not show this menu on irrelevant architectures) Make the config machinery to drive the gzip/bzip2/lzma selection dependent on the architecture advertising HAVE_KERNEL_* so that we don't display this for architectures where it doesn't matter.
