vimage commit 1.5

[Julian Elischer]

The vimage-commit2 branch is pretty much ready for commit
as far as I can see.

The aim of this commit is to add more stuff from the vimage
branch that evaluates to 0 bytes of binary change when VIMAGE
is not enabled.

I will have to concentrate on work for a while so
I will not be 'monitoring', but I will be reachable.

Bjoern, what is the commit plan?
