Move the NI 169445 board flattened image tree source into its own file
which is concatenated into the final image tree source used to build the
flattened image tree. Separating boards into different files will help
us to avoid conflicts as boards are added.

Add support for the MIPS Boston development board to generic kernels,
which essentially amounts to:
- Adding the device tree source for the MIPS Boston board.
- Adding a Kconfig fragment which enables the appropriate drivers for
the MIPS Boston board.
With these changes in place generic kernels will support the board by
default, and kernels with only the drivers needed for Boston enabled can
be configured by setting BOARDS=boston during configuration. For
example:
$ make ARCH=mips 64r6el_defconfig BOARDS=boston

Introduce a "generic" platform, which aims to be board-agnostic by
making use of device trees passed by the boot protocol defined in the
MIPS UHI (Universal Hosting Interface) specification. Provision is made
for supporting boards which use a legacy boot protocol that can't be
changed, but adding support for such boards or any others is left to
followon patches.
Right now the built kernels expect to be loaded to 0x80100000, ie. in
kseg0. This is fine for the vast majority of MIPS platforms, but
nevertheless it would be good to remove this limitation in the future by
mapping the kernel via the TLB such that it can be loaded anywhere & map
itself appropriately.
Configuration is handled by dynamically generating configs using
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh, somewhat similar to the way powerpc
makes use of it. This allows for variations upon the configuration, eg.
differing architecture revisions or subsets of driver support for
differing boards, to be handled without having a large number of
defconfig files.
