I doubt u-boot is the only requisite for that.

At least, this will help NITdroid prevent having to flash a kernel every time you switch between Maemo/NITdroid. As it is written directly to a NAND without any wear leveling layer at all the number of kernel changes before the device breaks is rather limited (but still in the tens of thousands). This should help with that.
