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...
