u-boot has mode called "falcon mode"..

SPL -> Kernel (thus skipping u-boot.img)

That is interesting. For me though there are too many landmines I
think.

I do see some other things in u-boot that may replace this but I
might be wrong. Read about it on the u-boot list.

Falcon requires uImage also.

That's not a show stopper.. (just an annoyance)

Has anyone made it work? I can't find an instance of someone
making it work. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

the am335x was one of the targets falcon mode was designed with in mind..
