I thought about including it, but as it's only used at image creation
time, it's only on the builder node. But one can install it from
Extras (when It will be released and so available directly) but only
available now on buildlogs :
http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/extras/armhfp/Packages/uboot-images-armv7-2015.10-4.el7.noarch.rpm
That package should contain everything you need I guess

If that works, and that the single difference between the cubietruck
image and the cubieboard2 is that uboot image, I can already respin a
test image, and release to dev.centos.org if needed.
