... and more importantly lilo is only one of many boot methods which is
ia32 (afaik) only.  Argument passing is per-arch.  On PPC32, you can set
CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y and then set a cmdline to use.  If you're using
PPCBoot on your board, there's another way to do it, without recompiling
the kernel.
