I'm working on adjusting the machine's OFW to provide a devicetree that
matches what mainline Linux expects. I'll follow up with a boot script
in a few days -- once it's good enough to be actually useful.

Until then, CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB can be used, though a zImage header
needs to be modified to account for the DTB at the end:
