ARM: 6026/1: ARM: Add support for LZMA-compressed kernel images
This patch allows using a kernel image compressed with LZMA on ARM. Extracting the image is fairly slow, but it might be useful on machines with a very limited amount of storage, as the size benefit is quite significant (about 25% smaller with LZMA compared to GZIP) Tested-by:Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> Tested-by:
