      Pull LZO compression update from Markus Oberhumer:
       "Summary:
        ========
      
        Update the Linux kernel LZO compression and decompression code to the
        current upstream version which features significant performance
        improvements on modern machines.
      
        Some *synthetic* benchmarks:

          LZO-2005    : LZO version in current 3.8 kernel (which is based on
                           the LZO 2.02 release from 2005)

        **LZO-2013-UA : updated LZO version available in linux-next plus experimental
                           ARM Unaligned Access patch. This needs approval

      Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> acks it and says:
       "There's a new LZ4 on the block which is even faster than the sped-up
        LZO, but various filesystems and things use LZO"
