For the record, the changes are now in U-Boot master:

d510859 image: Don't detect XIP images as overlapping.
b9b50e8 image: Implement IH_TYPE_KERNEL_NOLOAD

I should also note that Marek Vasut posted some patches to implement a
bootz command in U-Boot. This turned out to be much less invasive than
I originally thought, so once those patches are finalized, uImage might
be irrelevant except for initrds (U-Boot already accepts a raw FDT
without uImage wrapping for bootm and hence bootz).
