Nack. This kind of thing should be done by making QEMU
load an ELF file which has u-boot in it (which at the
moment you can do with -kernel). Loading Linux kernels
is a special case in arm_boot because of the complicated
boot protocol they have and because people want to load
lots of different kernels.
