Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] Add support for LZO-compressed kernel images

This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on the
x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using LZO-compressed
initrd and initramfs images.

Changes in v2:
	- On ARM, compiling with -Os failed due to missing __aeabi_uidivmod.
	  Link using arch/arm/lib/lib1funcs.o which provides this symbol, and
	  define a dummy __div0 function in arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c, as
	  this symbol is required by lib1funcs.
	- lib/decompress_unlzo.c: include linux/decompress/unlzo.h only when
	  we're not compiling the pre-boot environment to prevent compile
	  issues
	- Formatting fixes

Changes in v3:
	- Add a couple missing semicolons to fix compile issues
	- Fix typos in {init,usr}/Kconfig

Andrew: since it used to be in -mm, can you pick this up again?

Russell: since I believe your initial concerns regarding the ARM part of the
patch got fixed, do I have your approval?
