Alain Knaff 6c11b12ac6 bzip2/lzma: fix decompress_inflate.c vs multi-block-with-embedded-filename
Impact: Bug fix

Fix gunzip uncompression, so that it also works with files with
embedded filenames that are larger than one block.

H. Peter Anvin 5619448fc5 bzip2/lzma: fix constant in decompress_inflate
Impact: Cleanup

Fix constant 0x8100 /* 32K */; according to Alain the value 0x8100 was
left over test code to test misalignment, the correct value is indeed
0x8000 == 32K.

Alain Knaff bc22c17e12 bzip2/lzma: library support for gzip, bzip2 and lzma decompression
Impact: Replaces inflate.c with a wrapper around zlib_inflate; new library code

This is the first 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:
- changed inflate.c to accomodate rest of patch
- implementation of bzip2 compression (not used at this stage yet)
- implementation of lzma compression (not used at this stage yet)
- Makefile routines to support bzip2 and lzma kernel compression
