* 'bzip2-lzma-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip:
  bzip2/lzma: don't ask for compression mode for the default initramfs
  bzip2/lzma: consistently capitalize LZMA in Kconfig
  bzip2/lzma: clarify the meaning of the CONFIG_RD_ options
  bzip2/lzma: move CONFIG_RD_* options under CONFIG_EMBEDDED

This setting is only meaningful if the INITRAMFS_SOURCE is
set. It decides by which algorithm the INITRAMFS_SOURCE will
be compressed.
Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
This option decides by which algorithm the builtin initramfs
will be compressed. Several compression algorithms are
available, which differ in efficiency, compression and
decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant
when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at
each boot.
If you have any problems with bzip2 or LZMA compressed
initramfs, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>.
High compression options are mostly useful for users who
are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
size matters less.
High compression options are mostly useful for users who are
low on RAM, since it reduces the memory consumption during
boot.
