Hrm.  It would make more sense to extend the existing zImage.% rule to
pass in the dts (making sure it still works with no dts, obviously).
We shouldn't need this two-level indirection of make targets, either
through dts-y, see my recent patch of cuboot cleanups to see how I
removed that for Scott Wood's cuboot stuff.
