Add lzop decompression support to the existing lzo bitstream handling
(think gzip versus zlib), and support it for uImage decompression if
CONFIG_LZO is enabled.
Lzop doesn't compress as good as gzip (~10% worse), but decompression
is very fast (~0.7s faster here on a slow ppc). The lzop decompression
code is based on Albin Tonnerre's recent ARM Linux lzo support patch.

This patch adds LZO decompression support to U-Boot. It is needed for
the upcoming UBIFS support, since UBIFS uses LZO as default compressor/
decompressor. Since we only support read-only in UBIFS, only the
decompressor is needed.
All this is copied with minor changes from the current Linux kernel
version (2.6.28-rc8).
This patch only implements this LZO decompressor support for PPC.
Other platforms using UBIFS will have to add the required
"include/asm/unaligned.h" as well. It should be fairly easy to copy this
from the Linux source tree as I have done it for PPC in this patch.
