FIT: List kernel_noload in the list of types
In the source_file_format.txt file we talk about how to construct a valid FIT image. While it already says to look at the source for the full list, add kernel_noload to the explicit list of types. This is arguably the most important type to use as most often we are including a kernel that will run from wherever it is loaded into memory and execute. This for example, allows you to create a single FIT image for Linux that can be used on both OMAP and i.MX devices as the kernel will not need to be moved in memory.
