[Buildroot] [RFC-next 0/2] Add genimage logic in fs/genimage

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

This has been discussed in the past, so here is a first attempt at
adding some logic to generate genimage images from Buildroot. It's
sent as an RFC to really point out that it's an initial attempt, meant
to start the discussion.

The aspects I'm not entirely sure:

 - fs/genimage/ is not ideal, because it's not a filesystem format
   per-se. But I'm not sure where to put it.

 - the "Filesystem images" menu in menuconfig is also not the ideal
   location, for the same reason, but I'm also not sure where this
   would fit.

 - the direct call from target-post-image to GENIMAGE_GENERATE_CMDS is
   also probably not ideal.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

Thomas
