These patches add "-uboot" option to ARM boards.
To let user load u-boot, board should initialize
.uboot_start in arm_boot_info struct.
Added utilisation of "-uboot" for exynos4 and integratorcp.
Nack. This kind of thing should be done by making QEMU
load an ELF file which has u-boot in it (which at the
moment you can do with -kernel). Loading Linux kernels
is a special case in arm_boot because of the complicated
boot protocol they have and because people want to load
lots of different kernels.

As I understood, you mean that -kernel is for people who want to quickly
compile and try different kernel.
As for me, -uboot is the same ) No need to generate a file, where u-boot
and kernel are placed. Just use -uboot ./u-boot -kernel ./uImage, change
kernel, or change u-boot, or both, as you wish.
