I see. It might be worthwhile profiling the parts of the kernel to see if
there are any benefits to implementing "hot swapping" parts of the kernel.
I suspect that it probably won't be worthwhile as most people just compile
parts of the kernel as modules to keep the kernel size to a minimum
anyway, and it'd lead to some horrible problems on SMP kernels, I think,
although I'm not a Linux Lesser God yet. :o)
