Given the recent feedback from the kernel mailing list (viz "don't boot
Image unless you really know what you're doing, the correct load
image may change randomly depending what other board support
is in a multikernel image, etc") maybe we should just remove the
Image booting support instead? Clearly nobody who hasn't locally
patched QEMU is using it at the moment...
