[PATCH] initramfs: allow again choice of the embedded compression algorithm

2014-09-24 Thread klondike
Choosing the appropriate option (for example on my tests, choosing CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE when compressing the using XZ) results in up to 500KiB differences (9MiB to 8.5MiB) in the kernel size as the dictionary will not get polluted with uncomprensible data and may reuse kernel data too.
