Bug Description
l-i-t is assuming U-Boot is the bootloader and make uImage (make_uImage) unconditionally.
It's making zImage unusable with l-i-t. Here's a couple of use-cases:
- u-boot bootz command to load zImage
- uefi loading zImage

It's almost not possible to detect kernel image type during runtime. The option is to add another variable to hwpack like 'kernel_image_type' and if it is not set or set to 'uImage' we just do the same as nowdays, if it is set to 'zImage' we copy 'kernel_file' to the bootdisk as 'zImage'.
