I must have misunderstood you: didn't you want a solution that is 
available on PPC, ARM and MIPS? It is not at all likely that the ARM 
folks give up their ATAGs in favour of PPCs bi_recs because of a 
boot-loader, let alone one they never wanted in the first place. Even 
given that ATAG's and bi_recs are essentially the same, it will hardly 
allow U-Boots implementation nor the kernel API to have much common 
code.
