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.
