This is not adding it, just moving the existing patch to apply to the
newer u-boot recipe.

It does however need to go though. But I have not had a chance to sort
that out yet, the biggest problem with using fit is that it would need
to embed the rootfs (which is passed at runqemu time). Which  means
that using a disk interface is a better way to go, but since qemu
boots u-boot instead of a kernel directly it is not so straight
forward to pass the root= param to the kernel.
