1bd010f83b gemini: create a copy-kernel for 3072k kernels
The Raidsonic devices do not use a 2048k kernel "Kern"
partition like the Storlink reference designs. Instead
it uses a 3072k partition to fit a slightly
larger kernel.

Sadly the current OpenWrt Gemini kernel is still bigger
than 3072k so we need to make use of the Ramdisk
partition as well.

Create a special "copy-kernel" version that can deal
with the Raidsonic 3072k kernels. Tested on the
Raidsonic IB-4220-B booting kernel v6.12.66.

Fix a copy/paste error in the image generation makefile
while we are at it.

6d819fae53 gemini: image: fix race condition when building copy-kernel.bin
Make treat copy-kernel.o as intermediate and delete it when it's no
longer needed.  This can fail when the same submake was triggered
multiple times for different devices.

a608380e42 gemini: Add copy-kernel utility package
This package just contains a small Gemini-only assembler
bootstrap loop to copy the kernel from the two fragments
(previously zImage at 0x01600000 and initramdisk at 0x00800000)
into one big zImage of up to 8 MB at 0x00400000.

It will be built on demand from the Gemini image Makefile.
