Wire up support for the XZ decompressor
Ok.
Thanks, added to the patch system.
FYI:

BTW, has anyone outside of the ARM community seen the patch to
lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c adding the linux/kernel.h include?  How
well tested is that change on other architectures?
Ok, no reply to this, so I'm dropping your patch for the merge window.
Guessed I'm not the one outside the ARM community, so.. I can say it
didn't break neither ppc or mips for me, but have no idea who's feedback
are you waiting for.
What I'm concerned about is the apparant lack of exposure of the patch
to people outside of ARM, especially as it touches lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c.

I have no idea whether that breaks some architecture or not.

Is Lasse Collin (the original contributer of that file) aware of this
change?

What is the additional include fixing on ARM?  Why isn't this include
needed on other architectures?  And why isn't any of this mentioned in
the patch commit log?
