This is true for odroid XU3 (Exynos5 based) but Odroid U3/X2 (Exynos4 based) has no generic distro hooks at the moment.

What we need:
* Boot on boot.scr (mainly to define kernel name, initrd name and bootargs)
* Use (pre-defined) fdtfile, or be able to define it manually if not already set (or not in sync with Linux kernel)
