Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: descend into arch/arm/boot only once to generate boot images

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.

    Image arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready

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.
