3) Is there a way to get a self-decompressing kernel image? ARM
linux provides a zImage which the cpu just has to jump into (with
some registers initialized) and then decompresses vmlinux by itself.

Yes. look at arc/ppc/boot/simple for some targets which have a
self-decompressing kernel. (Amongst which is our port to the Insight
V2PRO board).
OK, new things learned. But still one point I'd like
to add, that's both U-Boot and PlanetCore convert
linux kernel zImage.embedded image before booting.
U-Boot use mkimage, PlanetCore with dd. This depends
on bootloader.
