What are the chances of being able to build and swap kernels for this?
Or trying u-boot? What bootloader have the ODM's been using with the A10?
Does the A10 have any signed firmware modes for locking out unsigned
kernels or firmware?

No, it's not signed. You can build a custom kernel and even run
another linux distribution on it. I am writing a page here<br>

<a href="http://elinux.org/Hack_A10_devices">http://elinux.org/Hack_A10_devices</a>
on how to modify the firmware. It's not finished yet. In short it's
easy, you just need to change a ini file to let your custom kernel
or u-boot to run.<br>
