Now we have vmlinux ===> VO or kernel, that is output/init_size in misc.c arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.xz ==> compressed kernel. that is input/input_len in misc.c arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmllinux ==> ZO, arch/x86/boot/setup + ZO is bzImage. I really think we should not use "compressed kernel" for arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux that should stand for compressed vmlinux. VO/ZO should be better thatn "kernel proper"/'compressed kernel" for vmlinux/"arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux" ? Peter/Ingo, How to you think about that?
