Agreed, this depends on earlier stage boot firmware to initialise the firmware.
But in the embedded world something similar already exists with u-boot "falcon mode".
There the hardware boot ROM + u-boot SPL do the basic firmware init and then the u-boot SPL directly loads the Linux kernel (usually the final kernel).
