Several platforms require the mkimage tool to generate a uImage file
that is used with U-Boot. This brings the mkimage tool in-kernel to
enable building those platforms without having mkimage internally
provided.
This is currently based off of the version found in U-Boot 1.3.1.
Can we rename it either "ubootimage" or "mkuboot" or something else that
tells the user what kind of image it is? (It is, in particular, not
bzImage, which is probably the first thing that someone who sees "image"
in a arch-generic part of the Linux kernel tree will think.)
