Subject: [PATCH] arc add OWRTDTB section
This change allows OpenWRT to patch resulting kernel binary with
external .dtb.
That allows us to re-use exactky the same vmlinux on different boards
given its ARC core configurations match (at least cache line sizes etc).
""patch-dtb" searches for ASCII "OWRTDTB:" strign and copies external
.dtb right after it, keeping the string in place.
