No idea, I'm afraid. If you have a server to test, it looks like one
can use OpenSSL 1.1.1's `openssl s_client` tool to send a KeyUpdate
message by writing "K" on a line by itself.

If I were to guess about how in-kernel TLS would work, I would think
that the message would be handled internally and user-space wouldn't
need to know anything about it: it just requires rotating the traffic
keys and, potentially, writing a message in reply—both things that the
kernel can probably handle itself.
