Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider
zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing
uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed,
since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address,
except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply
better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format
on ARM.
All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select
explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need
to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.

For most defconfigs, it was trivial to deduce the kernel version, by
just reading the version string, which could be:
- a standard upstream version string vX.Y.Z
- a non-standard version string, but still containg the standard X.Y.Z
Those for which it was not so trivial were those hosted on git tree.
Since most were already using a custom linux-headers version, it could
be easily deduced from that. It was confirmed by browsing said git trees
and check the version there.
There are a few cases were there was a mismatch:
- microzed: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- xilinx_zc706: uses a 3.14 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- zedboard: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.

i.MX6 SoloLite SoC has a different external memory base address
than the other i.MX6 family SoCs:
- 0x80000000 for i.MX6 SoloLite (see i.MX6 SoloLite Reference Manual [1])
- 0x10000000 for the others (see i.MX6Quad/Dual Reference Manual [2])

i.MX6 SoloLite EVK is Freescale's evaluation board based on
the i.MX6 SoloLite applications processor.
This defconfig is based off Freescale "official" git repo on git.freescale.com
and SW release 3.0.35_4.1.0.
