All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create
a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that
most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather
than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This
difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches.

MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the
new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any
conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle.

Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from
the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

This is based on next-20121126.
I'll apply the series but I need a stable base. Looks like xtensa has
the dependency. Or I can just drop xtensa.
I was assuming this series would be applied for 3.9, hence hadn't
rebased it onto anything stable yet. Are you wanting to apply it
earlier? If so, I'll look into how it fits on top of 3.7-rc7.
