[PATCH] [FIX] init/Kconfig: fix option to disable kernel compression

From: Christian Ruppert
Date: Fri Nov 15 2013 - 11:53:12 EST


Some architectures with self-decompressing kernel images did not compile
with commit 69f0554ec261fd686ac7fa1c598cc9eb27b83a80 because they don't
provide a non-decompression mechanism for uncompressed kernels.

Rectify this problem by allowing uncompressed kernels only for architectures
which explicitly state they support them.

The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
Several compression algorithms are available, which differ

No compression at all. The kernel is huge but the compression and
decompression times are zero.
