It looks like it's not just Ubuntu going for the split OpenSBI/u-boot approach: Debian[1] of course is doing the same, but so is openSUSE[2]. Gentoo[3], very conveniently, goes as far as providing a working libvirt XML :) Outside of the Linux world, FreeBSD[4] and OpenBSD[5] also seem to have adopted this strategy. It looks like Fedora might be the only outlier...
