I could be wrong (and please correct me if so) but I think it depends on
the binary in question.  In my experience, most binaries work fine under
any kernel I have used.  Others have not worked under other kernels, but
that might be due to my amateurish attempts at changing the source "just to
see what happens".

You can call the kernel anything you want to, as long as the name is the
same for the actual kernel and in the booter, so you are correct here.
