Ew.  We've never included the CONFIG_ variables from Kconfig in the
bootwrapper.  It's supposed to be independent of the kernel.

I'll try to better understand if we can detect the compressed device
tree and if we really have to disable the APU.

What's the reasoning for being independent of the kernel, maybe it's
obvious to everyone but me?

The intention, as I understand it, is that the wrapper utilities can be
installed stand-alone and used to wrap other kernels if needs be.  In
practice I've not seen this happen yet, as most PowerPC kernels
are built directly from the kernel source.  Fedora does have a
separate package for the wrapper bits, but I'm not entirely sure it's
used.

My understanding could be totally wrong, and if so I'll politely ask
Paul or anyone else to hit me with a cluebat :).
