The kernel_config is now stored as a 4K binary block instead of the kconfig_options structure that was being used before. Since the verified boot code doesn't care what kernel config options are (other than the length of the kernel image and for verifying them before the rest of kernel), it is ok to keep them as a blackbox.
This CL also changes the verified boot kernel layout - VBlock Data followed by Kernel Config followed by the Kernel Image. This will allow them to be stored separately, or as a concatenated block (for easy memory mapping during kernel load). This should ease the process of generating a layout for verified boot kernel images which is also compatible with legacy BIOSes that don't support this mechanism.
Finally, there is also a new firmware API function to determine the size of a kernel verified boot block, given a pointer to its beginning (for determining the offset to the kernel config and data).

The CL adds the --config and --vblock option to kernel_utility.
--config <file> uses the file to populate the configuration portion within a signed vbootimage
Currently, the configuration file is assumed to only contain command line options to be passed to the kernel. In the future, we might want to change it so that it contains information about the kernel load address, entry points, etc. (refer to rspangler@ drive map design doc)
--vblock makes the tool only output the verification header instead of a one monolithic signed kernel image containing the verification information (with config information contained within it) followed by the actual kernel image

Refactor and restructure reference code into individual self-contain modules. I have revamped the way the code is structured to make it easy to determine which parts belong in the firmware and which are used by userland tools.
