Subject: [PATCH 1/2] initramfs: Generalize initramfs_data.xxx.S variants
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:23:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100831083843.853005604@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100831082307.064687027@linux.vnet.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: irfs1.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6309 bytes --]

Remove initramfs_data.{lzo,lzma,gz,bz2}.S variants and use a common
implementation in initramfs_data.S.  The common implementation expects
the file name of the initramfs to be defined in INITRAMFS_IMAGE.

Change the Makefile to set the INITRAMFS_IMAGE define symbol according
to the selected compression method.
