powerpc/nvram: Add compression to fit more oops output into NVRAM
Capture more than twice as much text from the printk buffer, and compress it to fit it in the lnx,oops-log NVRAM partition. You can view the compressed text using the new (as of July 20) --unzip option of the nvram command in the powerpc-utils package. [BenH: Added select of ZLIB_DEFLATE] Signed-off-by: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
