ba56617ef3 kmemtrace, kbuild: fix slab.h dependency problem in lib/decompress_bunzip2.c
Impact: cleanup

lib/decompress_bunzip2.c depends on slab.h without including it:

    CC      lib/decompress_bunzip2.o
  lib/decompress_bunzip2.c: In function ‘start_bunzip’:
  lib/decompress_bunzip2.c:636: error: implicit declaration of function ‘kmalloc’
  lib/decompress_bunzip2.c:636: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
  lib/decompress_bunzip2.c: In function ‘bunzip2’:
  lib/decompress_bunzip2.c:682: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
  lib/decompress_bunzip2.c:693: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
  lib/decompress_bunzip2.c:726: error: implicit declaration of function ‘kfree’
  make[1]: *** [lib/decompress_bunzip2.o] Error 1
  make: *** [lib/] Error 2

It gets included implicitly currently - but this will not be the
case with upcoming kmemtrace changes.

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
