Ubldr does it, not u-boot.  

I modified ubldr a couple days ago.  It first looks for a file arleady
loaded by u-boot.  If u-boot didn't load one, it next looks for a u-boot
environment variable named fdt_file and loads that file from the ufs
file system if it can find it in /boot/kernel or /boot/modules.

So basically just stop loading the file in u-boot and put a copy of the
file in /boot/modules and ubldr will load it.

I noticed in the boot log you posted that you didn't enable SMP and it's
only running one core, is that what you intended?  I didn't turn on SMP
by default yet, but I probably will in a few days because it seems
fairly stable so far.
