I'll go for that. Deprecate it now, remove it in 2.5 entirely (unless
someone says to l-k "ack, I *need* zImage"). At some point in 2.5, if not
right away, I say we should go ahead and make zImage (no pun intended)
effectively do all the bzImage stuff, but just not make the fact that it
is a bzImage known (ie there's only one target in the makefile, zImage,
which does all the stuff that bzImage does atm). Cosmetic, but seemingly
the more logical way to do it.
