My understanding of live kernel patching is that the feature allows 
systems to update specific individual kernel functions, and is primarily 
useful for addressing security vulnerabilities (and not, for example, 
for updating from one kernel version to another).  I don't know for a 
fact, but my expectation is that CentOS Stream systems aren't going to 
get "live" patches because there's no ongoing support for individual 
kernels.
