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 projectThis 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 compressionSigned-off-by: Alain Knaff

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).Requested-by: Trent Piepho

In the only place where we actually tried to handle arm and i386/m68k in
different ways (START_DATA() in coredump handling), the arm variant

Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new API.
This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS. cpumask_t gets replaced by

Impact: Reduce future system panics due to cpumask operations using NR_CPUS
Insure that code does not look at bits >= nr_cpu_ids as when cpumasks are
allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, these extra bits will not be defined.Also some other minor updates:
* change in to use cpu accessor function set_cpu_present() instead of
directly accessing cpu_present_map w/cpu_clear() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c]* use cpumask_of() instead of &cpumask_of_cpu() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c]
* optimize some cpu_mask_to_apicid_and functions.

Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.
Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)Also:
Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
