This patch allows using a kernel image compressed with LZMA on ARM.
Extracting the image is fairly slow, but it might be useful on machines
with a very limited amount of storage, as the size benefit is quite
significant:
Gzip: Data Size: 1586352 Bytes = 1549.17 kB = 1.51 MB
LZMA: Data Size: 2135916 Bytes = 2085.86 kB = 2.04 MB
