This will be required by the u-boot compatibility code to obtain a
compatible bd_t layout, to determine how to calculate the  
timebase, and
to know what soc fields need to be modified.

Erm.. I believe the omission of *all* kernel header files from the
boot wrapper code, including the config, is a deliberate decision.
The idea is that the wrapping can, if necessary, be done independent
of the kernel build.

I think the problem is how to resolve the variations of the u-boot/ 
ppcboot bd_t that changes from board to board and based on config.

Don't do that.  We're trying to get rid of this config dependant crap
that means the kernel must be built for a single board.  Instead make
the different bd_t options different options to the wrapper script.
