I am sure you must have seen patches from David Feng (added in cc) for u-boot support for ARMv8 foundation model (see reference [1]). It compiles fine for me with the Linaro 'aarch64-linux-gcc' toolchain and is able to boot ARMv8 foundation model. With my SMSC ethernet related changes (already part of David's v16 patchset), I am able to TFTP standard vanilla Linux images onto the foundation model (along with a simple busybox RFS) and boot Linux on the same and test some simple applications like tftp on linux. This base code can be easily used to add support for a 'real' ARMv8 based SoC. Hope this helps.
