Masahiro Yamada addc23ef6b configs/arm_foundationv8: bump to Linux 4.4.3
Bump to the latest kernel with DT path adjustment because Linux
commit ca5b34100c57 ("dts, arm64: Move dts files to vendor subdirs")
moved the DT file to the vendor sub-directory.

This commit was tested with the latest model (FVP v8 Foundation
Platform 9.5 build 41), so I updated the instruction in readme.txt
corresponding to it.

This is the support for the ARM Foundation v8 machine emulated by the
ARM software simulator of the AArch64 architecture.

First, one has to download the AArch64 software simulator from:

  https://silver.arm.com/download/download.tm?pv=2663527

Then, use the arm_foundationv8_defconfig configuration to build your
Buildroot system.

Finally, boot your system with:

 ${LOCATION_OF_FOUNDATIONV8_SIMULATOR}/models/Linux64_GCC-4.7/Foundation_Platform \
    --image output/images/linux-system.axf \
    --block-device output/images/rootfs.ext2 \
    --network=nat

You can get network access from within the simulated environment
by requesting an IP address using DHCP (run the command 'udhcpc').
