xen/arm: build as zImage

The zImage format is extremely simple: it only consists of a magic
number and 2 addresses in a specific position (see
http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/SWLINUX/files/booting_article.html#d0e309).

Some bootloaders expect a zImage; considering that it doesn't cost us
much to build Xen compatible with the format, make it so.
