Great, then I'll leave my hands off. I gathered that /etc/sysconfig/bootloader would need LOADER_TYPE="extlinux", and Library.pm:SetLoaderType() would need to handle "extlinux" to instantiate your new Core/Extlinux.pm. https://github.com/openSUSE/perl-bootloader https://github.com/yast/yast-bootloader will probably also need some love for ARM, to allow selecting (grub2 and) extlinux. Meanwhile, this is what I've cooked up as first step for dtb-source: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/344652 That allows dual-booting linux-next and Tumbleweed kernel with a hand-crafted extlinux.conf.
