Shouldn't hardcode mmcblk0

Bug Description

Hi

flash-kernel works on most platforms by looking at a static place with all the MTD partitions: /proc/mtd; on imx51 it writes to SD card instead of MTD, and that currently means hardcoding /dev/mmcblk0 which is a bit crude.

flash-kernel should read a .conf to set this device; this would avoid hardcoding in the script. This file should be written by the installer via the udeb logic.

Bye

  * Used named signals for "trap".
  * Source /etc/flash-kernel.conf if present.
  * Babbage: rename $dev to $fis_dev.
  * Babbage: don't hardcode $fis_dev, $fis_offset_hex, and $fis_size_hex but
    read them from /etc/flash-kernel.conf instead.

So it only misses generation of flash-kernel.conf in the installer. :-)
