kpatch provides _some_ guarantees, but it does not guarantee that all patches                                                                                 
are safe to apply.  Every patch must also be analyzed in-depth by a human.                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                                              
The most important point here cannot be stressed enough.  Here comes the bold:                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                              
**Do not blindly apply patches.  There is no subsitute for human analysis and                                                                                 
reasoning on a per-patch basis.  All patches must be thoroughly analyzed by a                                                                                 
human kernel expert who completely understands the patch and the affected code                                                                                
and how they relate to the live patching environment.**
