Milton already mentioned this the first time I submitted the patch.

Yes, there are.  And yes, I plan on submitting the cuboot-bamboo.c wrapper
just as soon as I get a chance to get my board switched back to u-boot.  It's
actually pretty trivial to keep both PIBS and u-boot on a bamboo board, since
you can program u-boot into the flash from PIBS and flip some switches to boot
from it.
