ARM: zImage: Allow the appending of a device tree binary

This patch provides the ability to boot using a device tree that is appended
to the raw binary zImage (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).

+	  With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
+	  (DTB) appended to zImage
+	  (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
+
+	  This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
+	  systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
+	  the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
+
+	  Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
+	  this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
+	  look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
+	  to zImage.  Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
+	  if you don't intend to always append a DTB.  Proper passing of the
+	  location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
+	  to this option.
