Jan H. Schönherr 5746f0555d x86/boot: Provide more slack space during decompression
The current slack space is not enough for LZ4, which has a worst case
overhead of 0.4% for data that cannot be further compressed. With
an LZ4 compressed kernel with an embedded initrd, the output is likely
to overwrite the input.

Increase the slack space to avoid that.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
