[Q] How do you flash the CM 11 kernel on Xperia P

Hello everybody on XDA,
I am new to flashing custom ROM's and I decided that I want Kitkat on my Xperia P.
Currently I have stock JB rooted with a Locked Bootloader.
I know I need to take the following steps:
Unlock my bootloader
Flashing/Fastboot the Kernel
Flash the rom with CWM
Flash the Gapps with CWM
Everything is clear to me how I should do it, except for fastbooting a Kernel.
I have looked on different threads with different kernels and they all seem like the have a different method of flashing/fastbooting it on my device.
So my questions are how do you flash/fastboot the CM 11 Kitkat Kernel by Percy_g2 for Xperia P?
There is a Newbies thread on installing Kitkat for Xperia U. Is the process the same for Xperia P?
Do I need to install CWM before I flash the Kernel or does it come with that Kernel?
Anything else I should know before attempting to install Kitkat (Tips or any important information I may have missed)

Hello there , I decided to finally flash a custom rom to my device(Snapdragon Kenzo), but AFAIK I can only flash lineageOS with locked bootloader. Are there other roms that I can safely flash with a locked bootloader?
