Before there were armv7/arm64 efi bootloaders kernels used to require
having a U-Boot header and had to reside on a fat/ext filesystem.
With boot scripts created by something like
'mkuboot -t script -a arm -o linux boot.cmd boot.scr' with boot.scr
also placed on the fat/ext filesystem.  boot.cmd being a text file with
U-Boot commands.

Now U-Boot supports uefi and generic distro boot there isn't a need to
use mkuboot for the most part.
