Subject: [PATCH v3 -next 0/5] Add support for LZ4-compressed kernel

Hi,

This is the third version. In this version, Some codes are fixed
and more description and note are added. I would like to thank David Sterba
for his review.

The Last patch[5/5] of the patch set is for making x86 and arm default to
LZ4-compressed for testing the LZ4 code in the linux-next.
It was requested by Andrew Morton in the patch set v2.

Currently, A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is supported.
However, It is expected that we will have a tool with more features
once its format is finished.

LZ4 compression tool is available at
http://code.google.com/p/lz4/source/checkout.

Thanks,
Kyungsik


Change log: v2
- Clean up code
- Enable unaligned access for ARM v6 and above with
  CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
- Add lz4_decompress() for faster decompression with
  uncompressed output size
- Use lz4_decompress() for LZ4-compressed kernel during
  boot-process
- Apply -Os to decompress.o to improve decompress
  performance during boot-up process
Change log: v3
- Prevent double evaluation by using an inline function
- Add LZ4 description and note for uncompressed chunk size issue
- Fix indentation error
