These patches are preparation for giving Yocto the ability to create FIT images
containing an EFI application as kernel (so U-Boot can give the OS access to its
EFI services while preserving other benefits of FIT image boot).

I'm working on a third patch that reintroduces the option to replace the kernel
image itself (instead of using `linux.bin`), but while it is working locally,
that one is a bit more complex and I'm inclined to post it as an RFC rather than
a final patch once I have given it a bit more polish. I consider these first 2
patches ready and useful on their own.

Nora Schiffer (2):
  kernel-fit-image: make kernel entry point and load address optional
  kernel-fit-image: introduce FIT_OS variable to override 'os' field
