The patch below is so-called reiser4 LZO compression plugin as extracted

I think it is an unauditable piece of shit and thus should not enter
mainline.
Like lib/inflate.c (and this new code should arguably be in lib/).
The problem is that if we clean this up, we've diverged very much from the
upstream implementation. So taking in fixes and features from upstream
becomes harder and more error-prone.
Well, what kinds of changes have to happen? I doubt upstream would care
about moving some of it to lib/ -- and anyway, reiserfs-list is on the
CC. We are speaking of upstream in the third party in the presence of
upstream, so...
Maybe just ask upstream?
