Re: arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.c:50: warning: "memmove" redefined

OK, paging in the KSan mailing list and key people.

Certainly this problem must be the same on all platforms
using an XZ-compressed kernel and not just Arm?

What I wonder is why the other platforms that use
XZ compression don't redefine memmove and
memcpy in their decompress.c clause for XZ?

Can we just delete these two lines?
#define memmove memmove
#define memcpy memcpy

Imre?

I can test some platforms without these defines later
tonight and see what happens.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
