kexec/uImage: Introduce uImage_probe_kernel
uImage supports different types of payloads, including kernel, ramdisks etc. uImage_probe() as of now checks whether the supplied payload is of type KERNEL ( i.e, IH_TYPE_KERNEL or IH_TYPE_KERNEL_NOLOAD ). Change this behaviour to return the image type, if it is one of the supported payloads. This change is in prepartion to support ramdisks in uImage format. Introduce a uImage_probe_kernel() which can be used by the archs to check if the supplied payload is one of the KERNEL types. Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.
