The one in do_deploy has more fancy features IIRC, but that should be 
moved to do_compile, since we want to package the fancy one :)

The uImage that the kernel makefile generated should _not_ be used, 
since in OE we generally know better which start & load address to use 
and which compression method works best for us. Incidentally RMK agrees 
with me on that for a change :)
