I haven't tried out the CONFIG_FIT stuff yet so some of these concerns  
might not be real issues:
1. Are their changes to linux kernel build system to create a  
FIT .uImage ?
2. if "#define CONFIG_FIT 1" can we use an "old" style uImage?

If the answer to 2. is no, I'm concerned about boards that are part of  
a family (like Freescale reference boards for PPC) and having two  
different image formats to deal with.
