There's also the possibility of chain-loading e.g. Grub from U-Boot, which I think would satisfy at least some of your desires, although there would still be a need for U-Boot's bootcmd to know to modified to be able to load Grub, and also enable e.g. CONFIG_API, so still needs some U-Boot work.
It appears boot time and increased complexity are no concern to you?
I don't think this is any different than a BIOS booting grub on x86.
I suppose one way of addressing this might be for U-Boot to support grub.cfg; either by integrating some code from the Grub project or a re-implementation.
This ends up pretty similar to Dennis' original suggestion, but with the advantage that that config file format is something already widely generated by distros.
