Jeff what is your concern. The boot protocol change is in 2.6.21 for arch/i386. HPA looked at it a while ago. All it does is set a flag that tells a bootloader. "Hey. I can run when loaded a non-default address, and this is what you have to align me to." All relocation processing happens in the kernel itself. So it is all pretty trivial.
