+Subject: [PATCH 42/96] arc add OWRTDTB section
+
+This change allows OpenWRT to patch resulting kernel binary with
+external .dtb.
+
+That allows us to re-use exactky the same vmlinux on different boards
+given its ARC core configurations match (at least cache line sizes etc).
+
+""patch-dtb" searches for ASCII "OWRTDTB:" strign and copies external
+.dtb right after it, keeping the string in place.
