This allows the user to use U-Boot's mkimage's -T kernel_noload option
if their arch Kconfig allows it, and they desire.

Hi, Stephen,
It seems that UIMAGE_ARCH and UIMAGE_LOADADDR can't be modified from
arch-Makefiles.

Oh dear, you're right. I suck at testing:-( I've fixed this locally.

For reference, Makefile.lib is included after the Makefile in the
relevant source directory, whereas my patch assumed the other way
around. So, rather than setting defaults in Makefile.lib and having
foo/Makefile override them, I should set the non-defaults in
foo/Makefile, and have Makefile.lib provide default values for variables
that aren't already set. Testing indicates this solves the problem!
