Yes, you can update, but new kernel will used after reboot. It's
because once loaded kernel is uncompresed and is stored into memory -
it isn't readed again after boot.

I don't know if I understand you. After boot process kernel is into
memory, so if live migration process move all processes with ram
alocated - it should work.
