For linaro-media-create we can specify all of the required board
parameters in the hardware pack so the tool doesn't need a command-line
board parameter to distinguish between vexpress flavours.

linaro-android-media-create however needs everything hardcoded into the
tools, so we need to distinguish between vexpress core-tiles to pass the
correct memory addresses to U-Boot.
