We currently do not guarantee compatibility due to ongoing
development, so mention this explicitly in the user-facing
documentation.

+Note on Compatibility
+=====================

+Note that the Live Update feature is still under development and subject to
+change, so compatibility is not guaranteed when kexec rebooting between
+different kernel versions. This is expected to change and stabilize in a future
+version.
