gemini: create a copy-kernel for 3072k kernels
The Raidsonic devices do not use a 2048k kernel "Kern"
partition like the Storlink reference designs. Instead
it uses a 3072k partition to fit a slightly
larger kernel.
Sadly the current OpenWrt Gemini kernel is still bigger
than 3072k so we need to make use of the Ramdisk
partition as well.
Create a special "copy-kernel" version that can deal
with the Raidsonic 3072k kernels. Tested on the
Raidsonic IB-4220-B booting kernel v6.12.66.
Fix a copy/paste error in the image generation makefile
while we are at it.
