Maybe it does, but I think it just forces the next boot to be from the recoveryfs. The code is on the recoveryfs partition. Same names. The recovery firmware and images is in "/recoveryfs/upgrade" If you telnet in, you can access it. Or take the SD card out an mount it in a PC.

Again, on the recoveryfs partition.

My guess is PLATFORM=freescale when the system boots from the recovery partition.
As far as I can tell it is for backward compatibility with the older hardware.

The optimal will be Kobo will fix it, since we don't know exactly what's the purpose of the "generic" and "specific" kernels.
Different hardware need different kernels. The N905C Touch, Glo and Mini are close enough they use the same kernel. The other devices have there own. As I said, that came directly from Kobo.
