please build/install highbank dtb file

[dann frazier]

Though real highbank hardware provides the device tree information in-ROM, the highbank.dtb file is needed to boot a highbank instance in QEMU. Please build/install dtb files as part of the standard linux-image packages. Here's a patch:

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Precise in -proposed solves the problem (3.2.0-30.47). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-precise' to 'verification-done-precise'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
