Wire up support for the XZ decompressor

Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a device tree capable one,
yet they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
the kernel cmdline string, etc. To allow a device tree enabled
kernel to be used with such bootloaders, it is necessary to convert those
ATAGs into FDT properties and fold them into the DTB appended to zImage.
Currently the following ATAGs are converted:
ATAG_CMDLINE
ATAG_MEM
ATAG_INITRD2
If the corresponding information already exists in the appended DTB, it
is replaced, otherwise the required node is created to hold it.
The code looks for ATAGs at the location pointed by the value of r2 upon
entry into the zImage code. If no ATAGs are found there, an attempt at
finding ATAGs at the typical 0x100 offset from start of RAM is made.
Otherwise the DTB is left unchanged.
Thisstarted from an older patch from John Bonesio <bones@secretlab.ca>,
with contributions from David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org>.

font_acorn_8x8.o was being built in drivers/video/console/ twice
during a build _in the same location_ - once for the kernel proper,
and once for the decompressor. The result is when you came to run an
install target, the kernel was always rebuilt due to this file
apparantly having been built with different compiler arguments.
Solve this by making a local copy at build time in the decompressor's
directory.
