bzImage has been just an alias for zImage for more than a decade.
It would not hurt to delete it.

Commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not
generate invalid images") fixed bad images generation in the parallel
building, but it is not efficient to descend into arch/arm/boot over
and over again. It is also clumsy to display the same log message
"Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready" a couple of times.

This commit allows arch/arm/boot/Makefile to build boot images at once
instead of generating them one by one. Of course, it works correctly
also in parallel building.

NAK. bzImage exists for compatibility with build scripts, removing it
is likely to break people's scripts. It does no harm to keep it.
