It's been previously noted that the A380 will have to use the remote stands at the west end of the airport.  So fitting the A380 at T2 is not an issue.  Passengers would board busses at gate 22A, which is currently used by the American Eagle bus to pickup Northwest and Hawaiian passengers connecing to Eagle flights.  A couple years ago I flew out of LAX on Omni Air International; the aircraft was parked at the remotes and we boarded busses at 22A.

Fitting an A380's load of passengers at 22A would be another issue entirely, it was pretty crowded with a less-than-full 380-pax DC-10.
