lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernels

This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.

Russell King said:

: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort.  The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.

This patch:

The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction.  Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:

Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip  1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo   1.75Mo 0.48s

So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.

This part contains:
 - Makefile routine to support lzo compression
 - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
   compressed kernels
 - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
   block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
 - config dialog for kernel compression
