The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 3.10-stable tree.
I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.
I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to
<stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and let me know why this patch should be
applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.
thanks,
greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] parisc: switch to gzip-compressed vmlinuz kernel
The latest PA-RISC Boot Loader (palo) allows loading of gzip compressed
vmlinuz kernels. So let's now switch to build a vmlinuz file when we
build a palo boot image.
PALO version 1.9 (or higher) is required for this which is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/palo.git
