Abdellatif El Khlifi 42a4f98ab5 kernel-fitimage: adding support for Initramfs bundle and u-boot script
This commit adds Initramfs bundle support to the FIT image in addition
to u-boot boot script capability.

These new features are selectable.

In case of Initramfs, the kernel is configured to be bundled with the rootfs
in the same binary (ie: zImage-initramfs-<machine>.bin). When the kernel is
copied to RAM and executed, it unpacks the Initramfs rootfs.

For more information about Initramfs please read:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt

For more details about the Initramfs bundle and boot script implementation
please check the kernel-fitimage.bbclass paragraph in Yocto reference
or mega manual.

Current limitations:

- Initramfs bundle FIT support has been tested on ARM 32-bit
- The kernel image type in case of ARM 32-bit is zImage

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
