In $distro_in_question, PMI already checks for a new default kernel.

$ grep kernel /usr/sbin/pmi
  [ -f /var/run/do-not-hibernate ] && echo "Default kernel has been upgraded" >&2 && exit 1
The improvement would be to twiddle the boot-loader and force loading of the older kernel; or have the initramfs code try to kexec the correct (older) kernel for the hibernated image—should the matching kernel is still around.

Fedora already does this; has since January 2006.
