From f86a69b15f60965a224e7e2516ad41070692cc19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Zhangjin Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:39:40 +0800 Subject: MIPS: Make the debugging of compressed kernel configurable This patch adds a new DEBUG_ZBOOT option to allow the users to enable it to debug the compressed kernel support for a new board and this optoin should be disabled to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the kernel booting procedure when the compressed kernel support is stable.
