BTW: The error function in linux-2.6.23/arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c uses while(1) without cpu_relax() in order to halt the machine. Is this fixed? Should it be fixed?

this is early bootup so there's no need to be "nice" to other cores or sockets - none of them are really running.

It probably should actually HLT, to avoid sucking power, and stressing the thermal system. We're dead at this point, and the early 486's which had problems with HLT will lock up - we don't care.
