From: Karl Apsite <karl.apsite at dornerworks.com>

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

example configuration:
config at 1 {
    description = "Xen 4.6.0-one loadable";
    kernel = "xen_kernel at 1";
    fdt = "fdt at 1";
    loadables = "linux_kernel at 1";
};

config at 2 {
    description = "Xen 4.6.0-two loadables";
    kernel = "xen_kernel at 1";
    fdt = "fdt at 1";
    loadables = "linux_kernel at 2", "linux_kernel at 1";
};

example output:
...
 Configuration 0 (config at 1)
  Description:  Xen 4.6.0-one loadable
  Kernel:       xen_kernel at 1
  FDT:          fdt at 1
  Loadables:    linux_kernel at 1
 Configuration 1 (config at 2)
  Description:  Xen 4.6.0-two loadables
  Kernel:       xen_kernel at 1
  FDT:          fdt at 1
  Loadables:    linux_kernel at 2
                linux_kernel at 1

 The FDT blob is required to properly boot FDT based kernel, so the minimal
