/*
 * Important notes about in-place decompression
 *
 * At least on x86, the kernel is decompressed in place: the compressed data
 * is placed to the end of the output buffer, and the decompressor overwrites
 * most of the compressed data. There must be enough safety margin to
 * guarantee that the write position is always behind the read position.
 *
 * The safety margin for XZ with LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 is calculated below.
 * Note that the margin with XZ is bigger than with Deflate (gzip)!
 *
 * The worst case for in-place decompression is that the beginning of
 * the file is compressed extremely well, and the rest of the file is
 * uncompressible. Thus, we must look for worst-case expansion when the
 * compressor is encoding uncompressible data.
 *
 * The structure of the .xz file in case of a compresed kernel is as follows.
 * Sizes (as bytes) of the fields are in parenthesis.
 *
 *    Stream Header (12)
 *    Block Header:
 *      Block Header (8-12)
 *      Compressed Data (N)
 *      Block Padding (0-3)
 *      CRC32 (4)
 *    Index (8-20)
 *    Stream Footer (12)
 *
 * Normally there is exactly one Block, but let's assume that there are
 * 2-4 Blocks just in case. Because Stream Header and also Block Header
 * of the first Block don't make the decompressor produce any uncompressed
 * data, we can ignore them from our calculations. Block Headers of possible
 * additional Blocks have to be taken into account still. With these
 * assumptions, it is safe to assume that the total header overhead is
 * less than 128 bytes.
 *
 * Compressed Data contains LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 encoded data. Since BCJ
 * doesn't change the size of the data, it is enough to calculate the
 * safety margin for LZMA2.
 *
 * LZMA2 stores the data in chunks. Each chunk has a header whose size is
 * a maximum of 6 bytes, but to get round 2^n numbers, let's assume that
 * the maximum chunk header size is 8 bytes. After the chunk header, there
