See section "U-Boot Porting Guide" in the README.

Correct.

Well, even if you cannot implement the  function  no_more_time()  the
rest  of  the "U-Boot Porting Guide" still applies. Follow it step by
step.

BTW: MCC Systems sells a "Linux SDK" which includes a port of U-Boot
to the MVME5500 board (see http://www.mccengineering.com/linuxsdks.htm)


Maybe we should start a "black list"  of  companies  who  don't  give
their patches back to the public source tree.
