I don't see personally why you'd ever need that.  If a kernel is borked, 
you've either got 1 of 2 situations:

a) Kernel can boot - and run pacman - but is messed up in some other 
way.  In this situation, just boot into, say, single user mode, and then 
use pacman to downgrade to the previous kernel package.

b) Kernel can't boot or can boot but can't run pacman.  You can keep an 
Arch live CD around for this situation.  The live CD would have pacman 
installed on it, right?  So couldn't you just use that to downgrade your 
system to the previous kernel?

So no need for 2 simultaneously installed kernel packages.
