That includes the guest kernel. If you can deploy a new kernel in the guest, presumably you can deploy a userspace package.

That's not always true.
The host admin can control the guest kernel via "kvm -kernel" easily enough, but he may or may not have access to the disk that is used in the guest. (think encrypted disks, service agreements, etc)

There is a matching -initrd argument that you can use to launch a daemon. I believe that -kernel use will be rare, though. It's a lot easier to keep everything in one filesystem.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
