Appending a given device tree blob to a zImage is something that should be 
solved outside of the kernel build imho.

Since your bootloader is already "non-cooperative" wrt DTBs, you need to 
provide a specific uImage (zImage + dtb) for it.

I do not think the kernel build should try to generate as many zImages as 
there dtb files, nor any other combination, this really is distribution 
specific.
