We are indeed using an ARM platform (based on an Atmel AT91 SoC, but I 
haven't submitted a patch for our specific board yet). We are primarily 
using Barebox as a bootloader for the Linux kernel, but some of our 
customers want to our boards as eval kits for other operating systems 
(ie: eCos and FreeRTOS).

It's only for those other operating systems that we need the ability to 
load and execute ELF images, we're still using zImage for the Linux 
kernel and I'd feel bad for dumping a lot of kexec work on you when we 
don't really need to be able to boot Linux with it.

Cheers,
Owen
