There are patches to u-boot that have been posted to allow mpc8540  
ADS to boot with a flat device tree (needed by kexec).  In addition  
the powerpc.git tree has support in arch/powerpc for building a  
kernel that uses that flat device tree for mpc8540 ads.

I'd recommend you start with getting that going on your system.
