[PATCH] ARM: Add support for LZMA-compressed kernel images

From: Albin Tonnerre
Date: Fri Nov 20 2009 - 10:02:18 EST


This patch allows using a kernel image compressed with LZMA on ARM,
using the support for multiple decompressors introduced in the LZO
support patch.
Extracting the image is fairly slow, but it might be useful on machines
with a very limited amount of storage.
