True enough, but we're not back to the behaviour of the previous
release.  In fact, this makes me wonder if there's not a solution to
the problem I had before of wanting to just leave everything in-place
(so that we could have a FIT image with an ARM multi-platform kernel
that would be usable on multiple platforms without multiple copies of
the zImage).
