Hi Peter,
This patch switches the payload of a bzImage file to be in compressed
ELF format. There are several rough edges which need to be addressed
before it could go any further but I'd be interested to hear your
opinion of the general approach before I spend time cleaning it up.
I'm mainly interested in something along these lines to allow the Xen
bootloader to load a bzImage so that distros don't have to maintain
two kernel packages with the same basic bits in different file
formats, I think it would probably be of use to the kexec and/or
lguest folks too.
this looks quite interesting to me. Peter, what do you think?
Definitely the right thing, let's just get the rough edges taken care
of, in particular the CRC32 bit.
