Helge Deller 82d96bf68e parisc: PA-Linux requires at least 32 MB RAM
Even a 32-bit kernel requires at least 27 MB to decompress itself, so
halt the system with a message if the system has less memory than 32 MB.

Helge Deller 34c201ae49 parisc: Include compressed vmlinux file in vmlinuz boot kernel
Change the parisc vmlinuz boot code to include and process the real
compressed vmlinux.gz ELF file instead of a compressed memory dump.
This brings parisc in sync on how it's done on x86_64.

The benefit of this change is that, e.g. for debugging purposes, one can
then extract the vmlinux file out of the vmlinuz which was booted which
wasn't possible before. This can be archieved with the existing
scripts/extract-vmlinux script, which just needs a small tweak to prefer
to extract a compressed file before trying the existing given binary.

The downside of this approach is that due to the extra round of
decompression/ELF processing we need more physical memory installed to
be able to boot a kernel.

Helge Deller 203c110b39 parisc: Fix indenting in puts()
Static analysis tools complain that we intended to have curly braces
around this indent block. In this case this assumption is wrong, so fix
the indenting.

Helge Deller 8c031ba63f parisc: Unbreak bootloader due to gcc-7 optimizations
gcc-7 optimizes the byte-wise accesses of get_unaligned_le32() into
word-wise accesses if the 32-bit integer output_len is declared as
external. This panics then the bootloader since we don't have the
unaligned access fault trap handler installed during boot time.

Avoid this optimization by declaring output_len as byte-aligned and thus
unbreak the bootloader code.

Additionally, compile the boot code optimized for size.
