This series updates 'make image.fit' to support adding a ramdisk to the
FIT, either one provided as a parameter or one created from all the
kernel modules.
It also includes a few performance improvement, so that building a FIT
from ~450MB of kernel/module/devicetree files only takes a few seconds
on a modern machine.
Note: I included support for using the existing cpio script as suggested
by Ahmad, but a fallback remains in case that is not available.

- Pass the list of modules to the script
Changes in v3:
- Move the ramdisk chunk into the correct patch
- Add a comment at the top of the file about the -r option
