I also looked in detail at the kernel and I also don't think it can be used
by anything. Maybe it used to be used at some point, but I don't feel like
grepping through the entire kernel history to find that :-)
So I also think it can be removed. Anyway, the TARGET_PATH will make sure
that our host-lzma is used.
Regards,
Arnout
