Impact: code size reduction (possibly critical)
The x86 boot and decompression code has no use of the branch profiling
constructs, so disable them. This would bloat the setup code by as
much as 14K, eating up a fairly large chunk of the 32K area we are
guaranteed to have.

Impact: Replaces x86 kernel decompressor with new code
This is the third part of the bzip2/lzma patch
The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for
compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both
compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster
than bzip2.
It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
compressors.
The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by
the udpcast project
This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28
This part contains:
- support for new bzip2 and lzma kernel compression for x86

Impact: segfault on build of a 32-bit relocatable kernel
When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited
sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done
incorrectly. This causes a segfault for some people when building the
relocatable 32-bit kernel.

The Kbuild variable "targets" is supposed to be
configuration-independent and reflect "all possible targets". This is
required to make "make clean" work properly.
Therefore, move all manipulation of "targets" as well as custom rules
out of the x86-32 ifdef statement. Only leave inside the ifdefs the
things that are genuinely configuration-dependent.

Comments in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S erroneously refer to the
real mode pointer as the second and the heap area as the third argument
to decompress_kernel(). In fact, these have been the first and second
argument, respectively, since v2.6.20.
This patch corrects the comments. It introduces no code changes.

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.
The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.
This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.
The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
- free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
allocations should be made
- free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed
The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call. This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().
Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

Impact: build failure in maximal configurations
The 32-bit x86 relocatable kernel requires an auxilliary host program

the structures dynamically.

The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the
end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems,
but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very
least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you
count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch

the only variable that ends up in de data segment. It's also
superfluous, because the first thing the code does is:
if (RM_SCREEN_INFO.orig_video_mode == 7) {
vidmem = (char *) 0xb0000;
vidport = 0x3b4;
} else {
vidmem = (char *) 0xb8000;

}
