A:
There are no markets that support uploading custom kernels.
This isn't a programming/development question.
If you've created a custom kernel for your device, you will need to distribute it yourself and I believe that the vendor drivers will need to be removed, since the Android kernel is open source but the drivers are not.
See Cyanogenmod

if you look at N900 (maemo based) you can see that you can compile your custom kernel and upload it.

ADP1/ADP2 devices are probably your choice - they have unlocked bootloader, however they still have some binary components. HTC G1 and HTC Magic could be hacked with engineering bootloader and so run custom ROM, too. Some kernel sources for ADP1/ADP2 could be found here: http://developer.htc.com/
