@juliank my assumption is that nothing prevents it, other than someone writing that code.

Attached is a patch for flash-kernel that will handle the compression, if needed, of kernel images for the m400. One alternate solution might be to try and copy the firmware-provided device tree data into a different memory location before loading the kernel in the boot.scr script. On one hand, that would limit the changes to code that only runs on these devices. But on the other hand, the generated uImage/uInitrd files wouldn't be usable for netbooting, as I don't think there's a way to inject memory copy commands into a config file for u-boot's pxelinux emulation.

Note that we'll need to update the MAAS image generation code as well to keep that working.
