So I'd say the next steps are: 1. Pick out your changes that are related to renaming grub to bootloader and add a shim for the uboot parts. That should be enough to get vm's booting. 2. Add your extlinux.conf generation/install code. 3. We can still add an install uboot to MBR procedure if it's necessary. This would break the changes down into easy to review patches and subgoals...
