I like the spirit...  It does seem like the compiled in device tree is
specified in the wrong place.

> Currently, the kernel uses CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE to wrap a kernel image

list

It seems like all you've done here is expand out the $(obj)/zImage.%
rule?, but now the $* has nothing to match to?  I don't think this
works.

How about just:
$(obj)/zImage.initrd.%: vmlinux $(wrapperbits) %.dts
	$(call if_changed,wrap,$*,$*.dts,,$(obj)/ramdisk.image.gz)

Which would handle the default case of platform code for each dts.

Then for cases where you have a multiplatform target, you'd have
something like
$(obj)/zImage.initrd.virtex.%: vmlinux $(wrapperbits) %.dts
	$(call if_changed,wrap,virtex,$*.dts,,$(obj)/ramdisk.image.gz)

I'm not particularly fond of making the wrapper smarter...  It seems
like the wrapper should be stupid and the logic about what to include
done in the Makefile or in Kconfig.  Also, it seems like a strange place
to explicitly encode the dependency between the name of the dts file and
the platform code.
