Patch series "lib/lzo: performance improvements", v4.
This series introduces performance improvements for lzo.
The previous version of this patchset is here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/21/625
This version tidies up the ifdefs as per Christoph's comment (although
certainly more could be done, this is at least a bit more consistent
with normal kernel coding style).

So, just to give a bit more detail: the test setup was a Samsung
Chromebook Pro, cycling through 80 tabs in Chrome. With lzo-rle, only
5% of pages increased in size, and 90% of pages compress to 75% of
original size (or better). Mean compression ratio was 41%. Importantly
for lzo-rle, there are a lot of low-entropy pages where it can do well:
in total about 20% of the data is zeros forming part of a run of 4 or
more bytes.
As a quick summary of the impact of these patches on bigger chunks of
data, I've compared the performance of four different variants of lzo
on two large (~40 MB) files. The numbers show round-trip throughput
in MB/s:
Variant | Low-entropy | High-entropy
Current lzo | 242 | 157
Arm opts | 290 | 159
RLE | 876 | 151
Arm opts + RLE | 1150 | 181
So both the Arm optimisations (8,16-byte copy & CTZ patches), and the
RLE implementation make a significant contribution to the overall
performance uplift.
This patch (of 8):
Modify the ifdefs in lzodefs.h to be more consistent with normal kernel
macros (e.g., change __aarch64__ to CONFIG_ARM64).
