+ * These functions are designed to make life easy for decompressing
+ * kernel images, initrd images or any other gzip compressed image,
+ * particularly if its useful to decompress part of the image (e.g. to
+ * examine headers) before decompressing the remainder.
+ *
+ * To use:
+ * - declare a gunzip_state structure
+ * - use gunzip_start() to initialize the state, associating it
+ * with a stream of compressed data
+ * - use gunzip_partial(), gunzip_exactly() and gunzip_discard()
+ * in any combination to extract pieces of data from the stream
+ * - Finally use gunzip_finish() to extract the tail of the
+ * compressed stream and wind up zlib
