[PATCH 0/3] sunxi: produce working binaries by default

I'm not sure what Dust is but a the original script for making the
.itb files was based on python with pyelftools dep and some we're
happy with the added python deps it so it was rewritten into the
latest shell script. I'm not sure from looking what extra deps the
dust templating adds vs other options but it's worth the
consideration.
