licensing issue

Hi All,

Will these 2 scenarios cause any licensing issue under Linux/GPL:

(i) A bootloader that passes proprietary arguments(specific to a
architecture) to linux kernel. I understand we need to open the Linux source
code but should the bootloader source code be made open source?
(ii) In case a downloadable module needs to export certain variables to the
kernel and we have changed the kernel for this effect. Should the module's
source code be made open source?

Thanks
Raghav
