BTRFS is not marked stable by developers, so it can not used in stable
arch.

I think this is something that hooks could do. It's a feature that's
in brainstorming. Maybe you could help implement it.

As a heads up, this (kernel rollbacks) is a planned feature of the
mkinitcpio-btrfs hook in AUR. It will be implemented in one or more
of about three ways:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=778395#p778395
You must be using btrfs for / of course.
So, that's not something that would work within the package management
framework, is it?
no, it would not. it requires you to manually run the proper command
prior to upgrading. it could be automated by either a pacman hook, or
putting the command in a wrapper script around pacman. there has been
some big interest in rollback from a couple devs, so maybe it will
make its way into pacman/libalpm official, but idk.
at any rate, it will be a solution to the kernel rollback problem, and
will suffice for some; it's just that it requires a btrfs root. the
next release will include this functionality, along with a tool to
work with/create system snapshots (and for use in said wrapper).
