This approach is different from Simon's approach. It uses objcopy to convert u-boot-dtb.bin into an ELF object with all the binary content included in the .data section. This elinimates the need to include a special section in the payload's linker script. Also there is no need to add any ASFLAGS_REMOVE for u-boot-dtb.o.

This patch needs to be applied on top of Simon's efi series.

This is the way that device tree used to work. It was painful to have to specify the architecture for all the boards. In fact we had code to work it out. My only concern with this approach is that we add the required for each arch to do this. However only x86 is currently support and I don't think it is much of a burden. Also it is good to get rid of the Makefile hack and this solution is overall tidier.
Do you think we should apply it over the top of my existing patches? For now I have merged it into the two patches that need it.
I am good for current v2 series. Thanks for merging it in.
