Then Linux shouldn't be compiled using kmods and instead as a
monolithic binary, since kernel modules fall under the patent.
Besides, there are tons of prior art on it. KSplice is a good
technology that could possibly be integrated in. fedora-ksplice is
only build scripts for the kernel it looks like. ksplice
is there as a package, but what about the GNOME frontend? The screenshot for
ksplice in Ubuntu looks like PackageKit, so maybe it would be possible to
integrate ksplice into PackageKit/yum so that rebooting for updates would be
unnecessary.
