Peter Anvin" This reverts commit 69f0554ec261fd686ac7fa1c598cc9eb27b83a80. This patch breaks randconfig on at least the x86-64 architecture, and most likely on others. There is work underway to support uncompressed kernels in a generic way, but it looks like it will amount to rewriting the support from scratch; see the LKML thread in the Link: for info. Therefore, revert this change and wait for the fix. Reported-by: Pavel Roskin Cc: Christian Ruppert Cc: Andrew Morton Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20131113113418.167b8ffd@IRBT4585 Signed-off-by: H.
