What would we do with this if we found it in a hwpack?
I don't know; I need more handson experience with DT to tell. It might be that we don't need this this cycle because the DT will be embedded in the zImage. Otherwise, we'd have to mkimage it along uImage and uInitrd, probably in a uFdt or something like that, and then change the boot script to pass it to the kernel.
I'd prefer if we could keep the kernel and fdt images separate as much as possible. In theory, the fdt should be updated far less often than the kernel. If we really need to bundle the kernel and fdt together then there is generic support for that in the kernel build system already.
