Merge branch 'linus' into perfcounters/core-v2

Merge reason: we have gathered quite a few conflicts, need to merge upstream

+          The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
+          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
+          kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
+          version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
+          supplied by Christian Ludwig)
+
+          High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
+          are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
+          size matters less.

+          Decompression speed is slowest among the three.  The kernel
+          size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
+          Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
