TI's OMAP3 processors have Cortex-A8. You can find versions of u-boot
for these processors in many places(they are not in mainline u-boot tree
yet):

For some of the boards, you'd see here:

This is beagle board development site.

Also uboot-v2 has a limited amount of cortex support (in the mainline
tree itself).

Steve sakoman maintains a git tree for u-boot v1 which he and Dirk Behme
may be planning on pushing in the coming days -> even that has cortex
support.
Git: http://sakoman.net/git/u-boot-omap3.git/ (there is a branch with
omap patches called common, test etc..)

By the way, disclaimers such as those above are pretty dis-concerting to
an open community I guess looking at previous discussions on the same..
for e.g. see
http://www.nabble.com/Help-needed-for-porting-linux-on-mpc8260-based-custom-board-to2182946.html#a2182946

You could probably speak to your IT folks about this.. They might have
email list configuration which are white listed and disclaimers would
not appear when send to those lists.
