This defconfig is affected by bug #8516, reported more than a year ago,
and nobody has updated the defconfig since then. In addition, it should
be migrated to the genimage mechanism instead of having its own
mkcubieboard.sh script.
Therefore, let's get rid of this defconfig.
Fixes bug #8516.

According to current "include/configs/sunxi-common.h"
U-Boot environment is stored on SD-card with offset 544 kB
and its size is limited as 128 kB.
Given memory layout of sunxi boards:
1. SPL
2. U-Boot
3. U-Boot environment
4. Partitions
(see http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SD_card#SD_Card_Layout for details)
we need to make sure the first real partition starts at least
with 544+128 kB offset. Adding a small safety gap let's put
the first partition with offset 1MB from the beginning of SD-card.
Otherwise current setup gets broken as soon as one saves U-Boot
environment with "saveenv" which basically overwrites FAT partition with
zImage and board no longer boots into Linux kernel.
[Peter: extend description, add padding to u-boot partition instead]

This patch updates the Cubieboard2 board defconfig to use newer u-boot
and linux versions, along with a few other improvements.
The other improvements were mostly backported from the recent Orange Pi
defconfig inclusion and are related to image generation.
linux-sunxi.org was used as a reference for both linux and u-boot
defconfig names.
In detail:
- Update linux to vanilla upstream -- currently 4.3.3 is the most
up-to-date. Although it lacks some features present only in the
linux-sunxi 3.4 branch, upstream support appears to be relatively mature
and is already being deployed by default by distributions such as Arch
Linux ARM.
- Update u-boot to vanilla upstream 2015.10. According to
linux-sunxi.org, upstream fully supports major functions (except NAND)
since 2015.07.
- Change image format to zImage and drop custom image generation script
in favour of genimage, as pointed out by reviewers in the Orange Pi
defconfig submission.
This was tested in a Cubieboard2 board with boot from mmc and it boots
fine to login prompt.
This has not been tested in a Cubieboard (A10) as I don't own any; the
version bumps probably apply to it although there are some differences
(lack of VFPv4 support, Cortex-A8 instead of Cortex-A7), so I have kept
the current Cubieboard defconfig and its scripts. This one has been only
build-tested.

On some shell environments the EUID variable, which checks the
user id, is not defined. Use `id -u` instead.
This patch mutes the following error:
