Yes we can, we just need a tool to adjust the uboot bit like Han's tool for
the A1x devices. Its less ugly than multiple images which are even less
workable.
That tool is called 'mkimage'. You grab a universal zImage, and use
mkimage on it at installation time to adjust it to the U-Boot runtime
environment where it is installed.
Morale of this story: including mkimage (aka "make uImage") as part of
the kernel build process was a mistake. It has sent the wrong message
to people, presenting uImage as the distributable build product which it
is not.
