From 8eee19d0eafd3a34742df4d26c810424097211fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Schnelle Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 19:53:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add option 'compress ramstage' Add an option to make compression of ramstage configurable. Right now it is always compressed. On my Thinkpad, the complete boot to grub takes 4s, with around 1s required for decompressing ramstage. This is probably caused by the fact the decompression does a lot of single byte/word/qword accesses, which are really slow on SPI buses. So give the user the option to store ramstage uncompressed, if he has enough memory.
