Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix some initramfs-related LZO decompression issues

These 2 patches fix some issues with the current LZO decompressor code.
The first one (re-)enables the use of LZO-compressed external initramfs, which
has been broken for some time. The second one enables the use of in-kernel
initramfs compressed using LZO.
If that's possible, I'd like to get at least patch 1/2 in 2.6.34, since it
is an actual bug fix.

Albin Tonnerre (2):
  lib: fix initramfs usage for the LZO decompressor
  Add support for in-kernel initramfs compressed with LZO
