I would suggest we could build a tarball of armv6 userland and an RPi
image to dd to an SD card.

Building the former should be straight forward.

For the latter, assuming the release target is unable to build the
required U-Boot binary, we could use crochet. I'm not sure if we can
use a tarball as the input for this to guarantee both are the same.

Ii would be useful if someone from re@ could update [1] with their
requirements from the arm developers on this.
