Subject: Re: fastboot: unpacking initramfs faster

Here is a quick and dirty patch that works for me. Applies to current
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-x86.git

Work on monolithic-kernel decompression and multithreading is next.

Subject: [PATCH] lib: support lzo-compressed initramfs images

Impact: Allows faster unpacking of the initial ramdisk.

LZO files are marginally larger than gzip, about 7% for the
best compression method lzo1x_999, but decompress about 30%
faster on x86 hardware.

This patch supports a new stream format generated by a
userspace tool named blzo.

Patch content:
* necessary additions to Kconfig and makefiles
* a simple initramfs decompressor
