Determining the latest upstream version, performing the recipe upgrade, 
and testing that the upgraded version builds are all done by calling 
bitbake. Which of course requires that MACHINE is set to something 
specific, in this case qemux86. As u-boot is disabled there, it gets 
skipped. I could special-case u-boot, but I do think it's better to 
enable it on qemu, which would also allow better AB testing across 
architectures and during runtime (booting images) for instance.
