    zlib: Fix build of powerpc boot wrapper · 6846ee5c
    Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
    Commit ac4c2a3b broke the build
    of all powerpc boot wrappers.
    
    It attempts to add an include of autoconf.h but used the wrong
    path for it. It also adds -D__KERNEL__ to our boot wrapper, both
    things that we pretty much didn't do on purpose so far.
    
    We want our boot wrapper to remain independent enough of the kernel
    for various reasons, one of them being that you can "wrap" an existing
    kernel at distro install time which allows to ship one kernel image
    and a set of boot wrappers for different platforms, the wrappers
    don't have to be built out of the same kernel build tree.
    
    It's also incorrect to do what the patch does in our boot environment
    since we may not have a proper alignment exception handler which means
    we may not be able to fixup the few cases where an unaligned access will
    need SW emulation (depends on the core variant, could be when crossing
    page or segment boundaries for example).
    
    This patch fixes it by putting the old code back in and using the
    new "fancy" variant only when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
    is set, which happens not to be set on powerpc since we don't include
    autoconf.h. It also reverts the changes to our boot wrapper Makefile.
    
    This means that x86 should, afaik, keep the optimisations since its
    boot wrapper does include autoconf.h and define __KERNEL__ (though I
    doubt they make that much different outside of slow embedded processors).
