Don't kernel updates need a restart?
Yeah but no work has to be done during the restart, it's just booting into the new kernel.
Usually yes, but you'll never be forced or even nagged to restart. You could keep your computer going for months on the same kernel until you decide that it's time to reboot, at which point your computer will boot with the new kernel.
