No. zImage.embedded contains everything.
objcopy -O binary zImage.embedded zImage.bin
load zImage.bin at a high address like 4MB or above.
Jump to the first location.
You will have to update some of the files in arch/ppc/boot/simple
to create a configuration descriptor for your board. There are
plenty of examples to copy.

That's guaranteed not to work. Something has to initialize the
environment before the Linux kernel starts running. This is
accomplished by the boot roms (u-boot is good for this), or the
bootloader wrappers in the arch/ppc/boot directories.
