One limitation of FIT is that all the data is 'inline' within it, using a
'data' property in each image node. This means that to find out what is in
the FIT it is necessary to scan the entire file. Once loaded it can be
scanned and then the images can be copied to the correct place in memory.
In SPL it can take a significant amount of time to copy images around in
memory. Also loading data that does not end up being used is wasteful. It
would be useful if the FIT were small, acting as a directory, with the
actual data stored elsewhere.
This allows SPL to load the entire FIT, without the images, then load the
images it wants later.
Add a -E option to mkimage to request that it output an 'external' FIT.

Added FIT_LOADABLE_PROP, so the user can identify an optional entry
named "loadables" in their .its configuration. "loadables" is a comma
separated list in the .its
Documentation can be found in doc/uImage.FIT/source_file_format.txt and
doc/uImage.Fit/multi-with-loadables.its

also when "type=ramdisk".

Add a new setup@ section to the FIT which can be used to provide a setup
binary for booting Linux on x86. This makes it possible to boot x86 from
a FIT.

This uses cfg instead of conf, and img instead of image. Fix these and
update in a few other places.

Pantelis Antoniou stated:
AFAIK, it is still used but the products using PPC are long gone.
Nuke it plz (from orbit).
So remove it since it cleans up a usage of env_get_char outside of
the environment code.
