There's also the possibility of chain-loading e.g. Grub from U-Boot,
which I think would satisfy at least some of your desires, although
there would still be a need for U-Boot's bootcmd to know to modified to
be able to load Grub, and also enable e.g. CONFIG_API, so still needs
some U-Boot work.

I got it working pretty easily on one Tegra board...
An advantage would be familiar config file format and UI.
