Don't know. Never ran into this problem.

Yes, it probably depends on the bootloader. More exactly, itt depends
on the interface between the bootloader and the Linux kernel.

U-Boot works fine if your kernel is configured for U-Boot. I  am  not
aware of a problem that needs fixing.

Yes, we did. Many times. We use  U-=Boot,  and  make  sure  that  the
kernel interface fits.
