That's no where near certain, nor complete.it's not like uboot transferred from eMMC/SD to SPI magically starts to understand PCIe/NVMHCI, support for the latter should be written, no matter where the code resides. So this is the answer to the poster - you would be able to do so, if the firmware used, did support that interface. it's doesn't yet. so try using that rootfs on NVMe SSD approach, suggested above.
Someone did modify u-boot to allow booting from NVMe, and I believe a few people tested flashing it to SPI with success. The thread's probably buried, but it should be linked in the wiki.
