5c67cb1d04 linux: use zImage by default on ARM
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.

ead386e8d3 configs: via_imx6_vab820: correct genimage dependencies
The genimage configuration creates a vfat filesystem, so ensure we have
dosfstools / mtools built for the host.

f143be8a09 configs: ensure ARM EABIhf is enabled for configurations using cortex A9
Similar to the issue with the Atmel A5 based boards, the VFP is optional on
A9 - So we need to enable it to be able to use EABIhf.

674e099678 defconfigs: all use the headers from the kernel
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.
