Here's the barebox code that implements booting other barebox images:
https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/barebox/tree/arch/arm/mach-layerscape/pblimage.c

Apparently entry point is at offset 128K. Keep in mind that
U-Boot go (at least on ARM32) does not do cache maintenance or turn
off the MMU, so funny effects may be expected.

Cheers,
Ahamd
