Some Ubiquiti U-boot versions, in particular the "U-Boot 1.1.4.2-s956
(Jun 10 2015 - 10:54:50)" found with AirOS 5.6, do not correctly flush the
caches for the whole kernel address range after decompressing the kernel
image, leading to hard to debug boot failures, depending on kernel version
and configuration.
As a workaround, prepend the relocate-kernels loader, which will invalidate
the caches after moving the kernel to the correct load address.

Using pad-to instead of passing the optional padding to append-kernel
or append-rootfs. It could be that the value of a variable is passed.
In case the variable is empty no error is thrown.
Furthermore the purpose of the extra parameter is hard to get without
reading the code.

The kernel size isn't passed to the append-kernel build step and the
resulting image bricks the device.
Fixes FS#168.
