Not very helpful comment. Something like:

	/*
	 * The decompressor relies on a pre-existing chosen node to be                                                          
	 * available to insert the command line and merge other ATAGS
	 * info.
	 */

Is it difficult to fix the decompressor?

I didn't understood the breakage regarding the memory node good enough
to suggest a comment for that.

Best regards
Uwe
