We would end up with hwpacks that contain information that won't work
with l-m-c 2011.09 and 2011.10 even though they support format version
2.0. So to make that clear we need to bump the format version, I
think. That way the old client will refuse to handle the hwpacks with
the unsupported format version instead of just failing.

The boards which do not use the env_dd and Samsung_* fields can still
use the 2.0 format, only the Samsung hwpacks need to use 2.1. We do
need to document which fields require which format version.

Title:
  Change hwpack field env_dd to take an offset

Status in Linaro Image Tools:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We should change the hwpack env_dd field to take a dd offset instead
  of Yes/No to be consistent with the other *_dd fields. The field is
  only used for Samsung boards.

  This is also an opportunity to remove the Samsung specific hwpack V2
  fields.
