In principle the correct upgrade path is already enforced by portage for both users of installkernel-gentoo and users of installkernel-systemd. Therefore for most setups no manual steps should be required that are not already communicated via pkg_postinst where relevant. But anyway, here's a news item that should hopefully answer all questions and troubles that have been raised on IRC. Let me know if something is missing or is still unclear.
