The changes look OK to me. Please ask Stephen to include the tree in
linux-next, for a 3.7 merge.



The changelog for patch 2/3 says:

: This commit updates the kernel LZO code to the current upsteam version
: which features a significant speed improvement - benchmarking the Calgary
: and Silesia test corpora typically shows a doubled performance in
: both compression and decompression on modern i386/x86_64/powerpc machines.


There are significant clients of the LZO library - crypto, btrfs,
jffs2, ubifs, squashfs and zcache. So let's give all those people a cc
and ask that they test the LZO changes once they land in linux-next.
For correctness and performance, please.
