Lol... not entirely true.. I'd say it is inspired by Linux kernel. In fact lots of stuff we have in kernel which are not required in a boot support scenario has been pared down.. we don't have multiple schedulers, process et.al. IMHO, u-boot v2 is neat, it will need lot of our effort is making it better :). A call for more folks to pitch in? ;)
I have a boot loader which does basic stuff and a usable prompt in around 30 something K. which kind of neat in itself. >We could probably > save ourselves a lot of trouble if we just took the DDR and CPU register > initialization code in U-Boot and moved it to the kernel. This may not be possible in all configurations. Where possible, platforms can choose to do it - yes - I would probably not need to do camera configurations in u-boot on my SOC - I will push it off to kernel. I might however need to talk i2c to my USB transceiver here to do USBTTY or USBNET. Doing cpu and clock inits may not be enough in u-boot in that case.
