The description "actually creates issues (brings a lot of things
unavailable in the decompression environment)" is inadequate.  Please
describe te problem this patch fixes more completely so that others
(ie: me) can decide whether this patch is needed in 2.6.32, 2.6.31. 
2.6.30, ...


This patch conflicts heavily with

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/bzip2-lzma-remove-nasty-uncompressed-size-hack-in-pre-boot-environment.patch


What should we do about that?
