This patch drops the CONFIG_PARISC_SELF_EXTRACT option. The palo boot loader is able to decompress a kernel which was compressed with gzip. That possibility was useful when the Linux kernel self-extracting feature wasn't implemented yet. Beside the fact that the self-extracting feature offers much better compression rates, we do support self-extracting kernels already since kernel v4.14, so now it's really time to get rid of that old option and always use the self-extractor.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
