This patch has been slightly modified from the upstream Illumos
version to be compatible with Linux.  Due to the very limited
stack space in the kernel a lz4 workspace kmem cache is used.
Since we are using gcc we are also able to take advantage of the
gcc optimized __builtin_ctz functions.

Support for GRUB has been dropped from this patch.  That code
is available but those changes will need to made to the upstream
GRUB package.

Lastly, several hunks of dead code were dropped for clarity.  They
include the functions real_LZ4_uncompress(), LZ4_compressBound()
and the Visual Studio specific hunks wrapped in _MSC_VER.
