Initramfs compression does not make much sense for the architectures
that support compressed kernel images because in this case the data
would be compressed twice. This will eventually result in a bigger
kernel image and time overhead when uncompressing it.
The only reason to use compressed initramfs is to reduce memory
usage when the kernel prepares rootfs, and both the unpacked
filesystem and initramfs.cpio are present in the memory.
Buildroot attempts to force GZIP compression for initramfs,
however it doesn't always work because initramfs compression mode
depends on RAM disk compression supported by the kernel.
Thus, CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP depends on CONFIG_RD_GZIP.
If CONFIG_RD_GZIP is not set, setting GZIP initramfs compression
will have no effect.
Besides, the kernel also supports other compression methods,
like BZIP2, LZMA, XZ and LZO. Forcing the good old GZIP does not
really make much sense any more.
This removes initramfs compression settings from Buildroot,
so that the default value preset in the kernel config is used,
which is CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE.
If initramfs compression is still needed, it can be set
in the kernel config (using make linux-menuconfig)

This patch introduces some support for device tree-enabled kernels.
It replaces the former BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_FILE option that was
microblaze-only, that was quite limited. This option was quite
limited, first obviously because it was restricted to microblaze,
but also because it targetted only external device tree source files,
and allowed only to build simpleImages using the custom image name
mechanism.
This patch adds a much more generic one, that can work on basically
every architecture that supports device tree. It allows to build
both device tree source file that comes with the kernel source or to
set the path to the device tree file to use so that one can use a
custom device tree.

[Fixes by Thomas, including comments from Arnout:
* Use AUTOTARGETS instead of GENTARGETS
* Use $(KERNEL_ARCH) instead of $(BR2_ARCH) as argument to the
prepare-kernel.sh script. This allows the arch name to be fixed
with the usual sed expressions and the quotes to be stripped.
* Add the --verbose option to prepare-kernel.sh. This allows to get
some clear error message when no Xenomai patch has been found for
the current kernel version.
* Improve the help texts as suggested by Arnout, and remove the
now useless README file.
* Add a BR2_PACKAGE_XENOMAI_SMP option, instead of poking inside the
kernel configuration to find out whether SMP is enabled or
not. This cannot work because: 1) the kernel might be built
outside of Buildroot and 2) if the kernel is built inside
Buildroot, it is built *after* Xenomai, so the kernel
configuration file is typically not yet present.
* Simplify the ARM subarchitecture selection as suggested by Arnout.
* Remove the documentation and development files according to
Buildroot standards (using BR2_HAVE_DOCUMENTATION and
BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES).
* Simplify the /etc/ld.so.conf modification logic.
