Hi Ashish,

Please bottom post.

You are way beyond my experience base with the n8x0.  You might be able 
to get better answers on a Nokia (maemo) email list(s).

WRT u-boot, I don't see how using nolo to boot u-boot to boot L4 is 
going to be any easier than booting L4 directly from nolo.

You might look into using kexec to chainload your L4 hypervisor.  Kexec 
is the linux program to load a new kernel, theoretically you could do 
that with L4 too.  Google is your friend.  The following looks useful:

Good luck,
