SubjectRe: [PATCH] decompressors: fix typo "POWERPC"

I'm not sure how official the term is. I have seen it mostly in
decompressors' files. It's the environment after a boot loader has
loaded the kernel but before the kernel has decompressed itself. On x86
the preboot environment has done its job once "Booting the kernel." has
been printed.
