Yes, I have a plan to improve this. Rather than having bootwrapper include the kernel/initrd/commandline, we can have it use semihosting to read the files at runtime. So you would then be able to use the semihosting-cmd_line parameter to pass a string like "--kernel /path/to/uImage --initrd /path/to/initrd -- args for kernel" Then you would be able to build a single AXF file as a one-off step, and use the same AXF file for loading any kernel/initrd.
I've posted boot-wrapper patches to do this to the android-virt list. http://patches.linaro.org/6379/ http://patches.linaro.org/6380/
(unfortunately linaro patchwork doesn't seem to have the 'download mbox' link which stock patchwork does, so those links aren't as useful as they could be...)
