+%description 
+kpatch is a Linux dynamic kernel patching tool which allows you to patch a
+running kernel without rebooting or restarting any processes.  It enables
+sysadmins to apply critical security patches to the kernel immediately, without
+having to wait for long-running tasks to complete, users to log off, or
+for scheduled reboot windows.  It gives more control over up-time without
+sacrificing security or stability.
