Merge branch 'bzip2-lzma-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip
* 'bzip2-lzma-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip:
bzip2/lzma: don't ask for compression mode for the default initramfs
bzip2/lzma: consistently capitalize LZMA in Kconfig
bzip2/lzma: clarify the meaning of the CONFIG_RD_ options
bzip2/lzma: move CONFIG_RD_* options under CONFIG_EMBEDDED
