And if so, is there a way to "downgrade" to the regular kernel?

Why would you want to downgrade? Performance is really not an issue.– Daniel AnderssonApr 28, 2012 at 18:22

There should be no issue having several kernels installed. In fact, to my knowledge it is standard practice to install newer kernel versions alongside the old versions, instead of overwriting the old kernel while it is running and thus risking ending up with a non-functioning system after next reboot.
One can see the application in always keeping a verified working kernel in place.
