For the --generate operation, the --in <file> option is gone and there are
three new required options:
--vmlinuz <file> Embedded kernel image
--config <file> Embedded kernel command-line parameters
--bootloader <file> Embedded bootloader stub
This takes the specified kernel, extracts the 32-bit component, and combines
that with the configuration file (essentially just the kernel cmdline
string) and the bootstub image . The resulting blob is signed and ready to
put in a kernel partition.
There's also an optional --padding parameter, to specify how much extra
(unsigned) space to leave between the signature header and the kernel blob.
The default is 0x4000, which is about four times as much needed when using
the largest signature size we currently support.

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.
