[PATCH 1/2] initramfs: Generalize initramfs_data.xxx.S variants

From: Hendrik Brueckner
Date: Tue Aug 31 2010 - 04:38:56 EST


Remove initramfs_data.{lzo,lzma,gz,bz2}.S variants and use a common
implementation in initramfs_data.S. The common implementation expects
the file name of the initramfs to be defined in INITRAMFS_IMAGE.

Change the Makefile to set the INITRAMFS_IMAGE define symbol according
to the selected compression method.
