    Subject[003/116] decompress: fix new decompressor for PIC
    2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>

    commit 5ceaa2f39bfa73c4398cd01e78f1c3ebde3d3383 upstream.

    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.
