17f964e881 MIPS: Move vmlinux.ecoff to arch/mips/boot
It moves to the same directory as the boot files in other formats.

d4d9a553d7 MIPS: Cleanup and Fixup of compressed kernel support
o Remove the .initrd section.  The initrd section was already handled
   when vmlinux was linked.
 o Discard .MIPS.options, .options, .pdr, .reginfo, .comment and .note
   sections.  If .MIPS.options is not removed, kernels compiled with gcc
   3.4.6 will not boot.
 o Clean up the file format.
 o Remove several other unneeded sections.

Tested with GCC 3.4.6 and 4.4.1 with and without initrd.

1b93b3c3e9 MIPS: Add support for GZIP / BZIP2 / LZMA compressed kernel images
This patch helps to generate smaller kernel images for linux-MIPS,

Here is the effect when using lzma:

$ ls -sh vmlinux
7.1M vmlinux
$ ls -sh vmlinuz
1.5M vmlinuz

Have tested the 32bit kernel on Qemu/Malta and 64bit kernel on FuLoong
Mini PC. both of them work well. and also, tested by Alexander Clouter
on an AR7 based Linksys WAG54Gv2, and by Manuel Lauss on an Alchemy
board.

This -v2 version incorporate the feedback from Ralf, and add the
following changes:

1. add .ecoff, .bin, .erec format support
2. only enable it and the debug source code for the machines we tested
3. a dozen of fixups and cleanups

and if you want to enable it for your board, please try to select
SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT for it, and if the board have an 16550 compatible
uart, you can select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 directly. and then
sending the relative patches to Ralf.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
