I'm not sure a separate bootloaders layer would really make sense - we 
normally keep bootloaders either in OE-Core (where we currently have u-boot, 
grub, grub-efi, syslinux, gummiboot, etc.) or in specific BSPs where a specific 
bootloader is needed (or a specific version of an existing bootloader, e.g. 
BSPs shipping their own version of u-boot is common). FWIW there is also a 
meta-initramfs layer in the meta-openembedded repository which contains 
kexecboot.

Are there bootloader(s) that you are looking for that are currently missing?

Cheers,
Paul
