I know I asked this quite some times already, but: Why not bootloader
spec? grepping for "global.bootm.image=" shows that we expect the kernel
at "/linuximage", "/zImage" or "/uImage", depending on the board.
"data=journal" is only valid for ext4 and even there is not an option
everybody wants to have.
With bootloader spec the rootfs can describe itself which kernel(s)
shall be started with which devicetrees. From barebox it's easy aswell,
only type "boot mmcx" and you're done.

With these bootscripts the first one who comes decides how the board is
intended to be used. I really don't want to have this in generic boards.
