[U-Boot-Users] Patch: bzip2 compression for small memory footprint boards

[Yuli Barcohen <yuli@arabellasw.com>]

BZIP2 decompression algorithm requires at least 4MB of malloc space. If
such an amount is unavailable, another (slower) algorithm can be used
which requires ~2300KB in the worst case. Attached patch selects the
decompression algorithm according to the available memory.
