Now we have
vmlinux   ===> VO or kernel,  that is output/init_size in misc.c
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.xz  ==> compressed kernel. that
is  input/input_len in misc.c
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmllinux  ==> ZO,
arch/x86/boot/setup + ZO is bzImage.

I really think we should not use
"compressed kernel" for arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
that should stand for compressed vmlinux.

VO/ZO should be better thatn "kernel proper"/'compressed kernel"
for vmlinux/"arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux" ?

Peter/Ingo, How to you think about that?

Thanks

Yinghai
