[PATCH 1/2] UBUNTU: Enable caching and buffering of whole RAM in the decompressor

OriginalAuthor: Mike Kasick <mike at kasick.org>

This is to speed-up booting if this kernel is booted using
kexec-hardboot. Without this patch, decompressor is very slow
to decompress, because it is located far above the kernel destination.
