Hmmm, we should be shipping .dtb files with the tree, so people don't
have to have dtc installed.

Unless, of course, we ship dtc ...

I like that idea.

I don't know much about the kernel build process, but is it normal to 
ship C files and have kbuild build them and then use the executables 
to build the rest of the kernel?

That's how Kconfig is built.

Then it shouldn't be too hard to refactor the dtc build environment to make it 
Kbuild-compatible, and then Paul can pull from Jon's dtc repo whenever it gets updated.

Jon, what do you think?
