2b6b5caa6d Decompressors: include <linux/slab.h> in <linux/decompress/mm.h>
Currently users of mm.h need to include <linux/slab.h> to use the macros
malloc() and free() provided by mm.h.  This fixes it.

93685ad247 Decompressors: get rid of set_error_fn() macro
set_error_fn() has become a useless complication after c1e7c3ae59
("bzip2/lzma/gzip: pre-boot malloc doesn't return NULL on failure") fixed
the use of error() in malloc().  Only decompress_unlzma.c had some use for
it and that was easy to change too.

This also gets rid of the static function pointer "error", which
should have been marked as __initdata.

5ceaa2f39b decompress: fix new decompressor for PIC
The ARM kernel decompressor wants to be able to relocate r/w data
independently from the rest of the image, and we do this by ensuring that
r/w data has global visibility.  Define STATIC_RW_DATA to be empty to
achieve this.

c1e7c3ae59 bzip2/lzma/gzip: pre-boot malloc doesn't return NULL on failure
The trivial malloc implementation used in the pre-boot environment by the
decompressors returns a bad pointer on failure (falling through after
calling error).  This is doubly wrong - the callers expect malloc to
return NULL on failure, second the error function is intended to be
used by the decompressors to propagate errors to *their* callers.  The
decompressors have no access to any state set by the error function.

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
