With recent kernel versions, some ARM configurations need may fail to
build with errors like this:

        multiple load addresses: 0x80008000 0x80008000
        This is incompatible with uImages
        Specify LOADADDR on the commandline to build an uImage

Add KERNEL_EXTRA_ARGS parameter so affected boards can add for example

        KERNEL_EXTRA_ARGS = "LOADADDR=0x80008000"

to their configuration.  We make this general enough so other needed
command line options can be passed as well when compiling the kernel.
