[OE-core] is there OE support for building multi-image/component FIT image files?

  not sure i even know if i'm asking the right question, but i already
know that i can build a *basic* FIT image file for (as an example) a
mpc8315e-rdb target, just goofing around. the .its file contains a
node for the kernel, and the dtb file, and the corresponding
configuration node, so everything is fine.

  however, let's say i was building for a beaglebone black, for which,
when you build the kernel. you get *multiple* dtb files for numerous
related targets.

  is there OE support for defining .its files that contain multiple
kernels, and/or multiple dtb files, that automatically generates
multiple configurations nodes to cover those possibilities?

  i realize you can do all that manually with the "mkimage" command,
i'm just not sure how far you can push creating FIT image files with
stock OE support.
