The patch 'arm/dt: Add dtb make rule' adds support to
create a .dtb file. But this is never removed afterwards.
Remove the generated .dtb file if 'distclean' is called.

uImages need a load address specified. This makes them
incompatible with multiple zreladdrs. Catch this error
before building an uImage so that we do not end up with
broken uImages. The load address can still be specified
with LOADADDR= on the command line.

We have 'install' and 'zinstall' for installing Image and zImage
kernels, so add 'uinstall' to complete the set.

This allows developers to have a ~/bin/installkernel script which (eg)
copies the kernel to the tftp server automatically once the kernel
has built, resulting in a better workflow.

<title>ARM: 6503/1: Thumb-2: Restore sensible zImage header layout for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL</title>

<id>26e5ca93dda9425f8ff78ccb2f9b193328087e45</id>
<content type='text'>
The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a
32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a magic
number, and a word containing the absolute entry point address.

This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the
size of the initial padding NOPs changes.

Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring it to
ARM.

In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a
sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry point.

As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so no
special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the
Thumb-2 case.

Partially revert e69edc7, which introduced automatic zreladdr
support.  The change in the way the manual definition is defined
seems to be error and conflict prone.  Go back to the original way
we were handling this for the time being, while keeping the automatic
zreladdr facility.

As long as the zImage is placed within the 128MB range from the start of
memory, ZRELADDR (Address where the decompressed kernel will be placed,
usually == PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET) can be determined at run-time by
masking PC with 0xf80000000.

Running through all the Makefile.boot, all those zreladdr-y
addresses == 0x[0-f][08]00_0000 + TEXT_OFFSET can be determined at
run-time.

Option CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR and CONFIG_ZRELADDR are introduced,
CONFIG_ZRELADDR _must_ be explicitly specified if:

- ((zreladdr-y - TEXT_OFFSET) &amp; ~0xf8000000) != 0, which means
  masking PC with 0xf8000000 will result in an incorrect address.
  Currently this is only a problem on u300.

- or the assumption of the zImage being loaded by the bootloader within
  the first 128MB of RAM is incorrect

- or when ZBOOT_ROM is used, where the above assumption is usually wrong.

[ukleinek: changed mask from 0xf0000000 to 0xf8000000 for mx1 and shark
+ some review fixes from the mailing list]

The 'i' and 'zi' targets short-circuit the dependencies for
'install' and 'zinstall' targets; these are useful for
installing the kernel on platforms which have make but no
