made the ext4 rootfs image unavailable for download from snapshots.
Only a SD-card image with u-boot and everything is available. This is
annoying for people who either have their own custom partition layout
or want to upgrade the rootfs without losing the u-boot configuration.

The same commit also broke the inclusion of dtbs in the root filesystem.

Note: I don't know if this is the right way to implement this. I'm just
adding code back that was there before.

Acked-by: Michael Heimpold <m...@heimpold.de>
With Michael's acks, I'll add this code (and the other patch) back in.

One more thing which we discussed with Michael, that the SDcard image for Duckbill could use the following partitions:

u-boot (0x53), rootfs1 for kernel/dtb (0x83), rootfs2 (0x83), data(0x83)

F.e. the second partition would be ext2 instead of fat, which could be 
supported with updating the uboot config to use ext2load instead of fatload. 
While this would be for Duckbill mainly, if people won't get annoyed this would 
be the default for the Olinuxino too.
