Sure. We did this all the time in arch/ppc. Now in arch/powerpc all you need 
is an device-tree enabled U-Boot version. This is standard for most targets 
since a few months.

Try a higher load address for the kernel. 4MB is a good value.

Ups. This is most likely too old and can't boot arch/powerpc uImage files.
