Here is a rough patch to common/cmd_bootm.c that passed load_end down to the do_bootm_* commands. I haven't updated the lib_*/bootm.c at this point.

In our development code for the new format we need even more data to be passed down to do_bootm_* flavors. We are doing this by passing a pointer to a structure:
do_bootm_linux (cmdtp, flag, argc, argv, hdr, verify);
do_bootm_linux (cmdtp, flag, argc, argv, &images, verify);

Perhaps it would be a good idea to add your load_end to bootm_headers? In any case, let's get back to this once the above mentioned code is posted to the ML.
sounds good, any eta on when this patch will show up?
Any update on the patch?
Hi Kumar,
Sorry for a delayed reply, I've been quite busy recently.
As to the patch adding passing more information to do_bootm_* -- it's a logical part of a bigger patchset that is not yet ready for posting. Please give me a few more days to get it in shape.
One of the ideas I have is I'd like to see if we can make it possible to do the equiv of bootm via a series of commands from the u-boot command line.
For example, I don't believe we have a way today to just decompress a uImage file.
Apart for using bootm machinery and the autostart env. variable (as pointed to by Wolfgang), there isn't a direct way to do this (like a U-Boot command for example).
