Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] fix some issues with the kernel decompressor

Here some patches to fix some issues with the zImage code. The LZMA decompressor now works for me, and the DT append patch should work on all platforms now too.

Weird still no luck here booting n900 zImage.. LZMA image prints corrupt error, and only works if the image is relocated further by 1MB or so. With the following hack n900 boots, so some size calculations still are wrong. No luck with DT append patch either.

Any ideas why the following helps on n900?

No idea. This could indicate that the lzma code is crapping into memory outside of its output buffer. The fact that my patch #2/3 makes lzma decompression suddenly work for me with no apparent explanation is not reassuring either.

With gzip kernel looks like I need to move the kernel further by 8MB instead of 1MB for some reason..
