When passing Kernel arguments, is it necassary to populate the bootargs environment variable with the information found by using command ,
No, in general it is not necessary. Bootargs is used for boot arguments only. [Well, sometimes it _is_ - like when passing something like "console=ttyS0,$(baudrate)" or when using special features like protected RAM and passing "mem=$(mem)k" etc.]

If I want these to be passed to the Linux kernel?
This is somewhat architecture dependend, but in general this information already gets passed top the Linux kernel - for example on PowerPC using the bd_info structure, on ARM using approproiate tags, etc.
