* Does it make sense to add a "Board uses UBoot" config option to
  individual boards? [BTW: the name is "U-Boot".] If we do something
  like this (which I'd appreciate) we should do it right - there
  might be some other boards that use this, too.

My question is, is it possible to support both U-Boot and $(VENDOR
FIRMWARE) in the same build?  If possible I'd like to avoid adding a
question for any type of firmware or a define_bool based on board
selection.  I think we allow for this on Sandpoints, so

Actually, I don't think it's possible to handle this in a general way.
In  particular, I'd also like to see a "Uses RedBoot" option, as the
booting process there is different from U-Boot, PPCBug, OF, ...  Sadly,
there is no real common ground and this truly is a target [board]
setting.
