Subject: [PATCH 1/2] scripts/gdb: add lx-fdtdump command

lx-fdtdump dumps the flatenned device tree passed to the kernel
from the bootloader to a file called fdtdump.dtb to allow further
post processing on the machine running GDB. The fdt header is also
also printed in the GDB console. For example:

(gdb) lx-fdtdump
fdt_magic:         0xD00DFEED
fdt_totalsize:     0xC108
off_dt_struct:     0x38
off_dt_strings:    0x3804
off_mem_rsvmap:    0x28
version:           17
last_comp_version: 16
Dumped fdt to fdtdump.dtb

>fdtdump fdtdump.dtb | less

This command is useful as the bootloader can often re-write parts
of the device tree, and this can sometimes cause the kernel to not
boot.
