I would like to know, what would happen if I will upgrade my current kernel - my preferences will remove oldest kernel which now have elrepo kmod-e1000e. Would it be moved to newer kernel automatically or I will need to reinstall this kmod again?

Our kmods are kABI-compatible, that is, kernel version independent.
They will be installed in the oldest possible kernel (directory). That
particular version of kernel does not have to be installed on the
system. A directory intended for the kmod installation is created if
that does not exist on the system. Uninstalling the kernel you are
referring to will not remove the installed module.
