Implement uncompressed kernel support (when "None" is picked in kernel compression mode list). In that case an actual decompression code is skipped and control is passed from boot/head.S to startup_continue in kernel/head64.S. To achieve that uncompressed kernel payload is conditionally put at 0x100000 in bzImage. In reality this is very close to classic uncompressed kernel "image", but the decompressor has its own build and link process, kernel/head64.S lives at 0x100000 rather than at 0x11000, and .bss section is reused for both stages.

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.
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.
