Independant of the outcome of this discussion I suggest reverting the
switch to the new decompressor for .33.  Hectors patch definitely isn't
.33 material and broken or not the old decompressor was more reliable.
That's reasonable, as far as .33 goes. Obviously I'm not expecting my
patch to make it to this release.
Could you put together a description for the commit log for this revert
please?
Something like this?

Revert "arm: add support for LZO-compressed kernels"

This commit switches to a different inflate implementation. This
implementation is subtly broken when used within the current ARM
compressed loader due to some build hacks. Revert the switch until those
hacks can be removed.
