This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.
mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for
kernel decompression. It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to
keep the code simpler.
The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is
increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64.
Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number.
With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few
percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel.

This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.
The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).
The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that
got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by
XZ Utils.
These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of
the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>.
It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too.
Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel:
- Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's
not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.
- Integrity check support (CRC32)
- BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on
certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can
produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images
than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower.
This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module
(xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool,
and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ
decompressor e.g. for Squashfs.

Callback-to-callback decompression mode is used for initrd (not
initramfs). The LZO wrapper is broken for this use case for two reasons:
- The argument validation is needlessly too strict by
requiring that "posp" is non-NULL when "fill" is non-NULL.
- The buffer handling code didn't work at all for this
use case.
I tested with LZO-compressed kernel, initramfs, initrd, and corrupt
(truncated) initramfs and initrd images.

Return value of rc->fill() is checked in rc_read() and error() is called
when needed, but then the code continues as if nothing had happened.
rc_read() is a void function and it's on the top of performance critical
call stacks, so propagating the error code via return values doesn't sound
like the best fix. It seems better to check rc->buffer_size (which holds
the return value of rc->fill()) in the main loop. It does nothing bad
that the code runs a little with unknown data after a failed rc->fill().
This fixes an infinite loop in initramfs decompression if the
LZMA-compressed initramfs image is corrupt.

Generate a unique inode numbers for any entries in the cram file system.
For files which did not contain data's (device nodes, fifos and sockets)
the offset of the directory entry inside the cramfs plus 1 will be used as
inode number.
The + 1 for the inode will it make possible to distinguish between a file
which contains no data and files which has data, the later one has a inode
value where the lower two bits are always 0.
It also reimplements the behavior to set the size and the number of block
to 0 for special file, which is the right value for empty files, devices,
fifos and sockets
As a little benefit it will be also more compatible which older mkcramfs,
because it will never use the cramfs_inode->offset for creating a inode
number for special files.

When hypervisor decides to decrease target balloon size while the balloon
driver tries to lock pages hypervisor may respond with
VMW_BALLOON_PPN_NOTNEEDED. Use this data and immediately stop reserving
pages and wait for the next update cycle to fetch new target instead of
continuing trying to lock pages until size of refused list grows above
VMW_BALLOON_MAX_REFUSED (16) pages.
As a result the driver stops bothering the hypervisor with its attempts to
lock more pages that are not needed anymore. Most likely next order from
hypervisor will be to reduce ballon size anyway.
It is a small optimization.

Add parallel port PPS client. It uses a standard method for capturing
timestamps for assert edge transitions: getting a timestamp soon after an
interrupt has happened.
This is not a very precise source of time information due to interrupt
handling delays. However, timestamps for clear edge transitions are much
more precise because the interrupt handler continuously polls hardware
port until the transition is done.
Hardware port operations require only about 1us so the maximum error
should not exceed this value. This was my primary goal when developing
this client.
Clear edge capture could be disabled using clear_wait parameter.

This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills. However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond.
To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.
Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.
