Subject[CFT] inflate.c rework arch testing needed
I've reworked the mess that is lib/inflate.c, including:

- proper formatting
- killing a ton of legacy code
- cleaning up IO and CRC handling
- eliminating all the global variables
- using __init for the core kernel
- proper linking rather than the #include "../lib/inflate.c" hack
- lots of minor cleanups along the way

This drops a ton of support code from all the users of this code as
well:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile | 5
arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c | 244 --
arch/i386/boot/compressed/Makefile | 6
arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c | 224 --
arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/Makefile | 6
arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/misc.c | 212 --
include/linux/inflate.h | 9
init/do_mounts_rd.c | 129 -
init/initramfs.c | 139 -
lib/Makefile | 4
lib/inflate.c | 3047 ++++++++++++++++-----------------
11 files changed, 1688 insertions(+), 2337 deletions(-)

I've converted only some of the users, and currently only tested x86.
Additional x86 testing as well as testing my current ARM and x86_64
support and doing the fixups for the other arches would be
appreciated.

Current patch rollup against 2.6.5-rc1 is at:
