The purpose of this call is to provide lossless compression.
Call this SWI initially with R0 = 8 and R1 = input file size, using the sizes it reports to allocate workspace and output buffers as appropriate. Then call repeatedly with R0 bit 3 clear until all the data is processed (as reported via the status bits returned in R0). If all the input data can be presented at once (R0 bits 0,1 clear) and the output buffer is large enough, a faster algorithm is used.
