This implements the API defined in which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin

Impact: Bugfix, avoids kernels which build but panic on boot
Fix a bug in decompress.c : only scanned until the first
non-configured compressor (with disastrous result especially if that
was gzip.)Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff

Instead of failing to identify a compressed image with a decompressor
that we don't have compiled in, identify it and fail with a
comprehensible panic message.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

Centralize the compression format detection to a common routine in the
lib directory, and use it for both initramfs and initrd.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin
