According to my understanding, 4.0 just implements the groundwork required for rebootless patching of the kernel, there's still a lot of work to be done to implement this in the long run - specially for a desktop system. I wouldn't plan on seeing true no reboot patching of the kernel for a while yet. Thanks a lot Dan, and it's obvious that I misunderstood something. I've looked into several technical or non-technical descriptions, but seen nothing about how to really activate the feature, such as commands or configuration files, but potential benefits from it. As a result, I think such a process takes place automatically without user intervention. After all, thanks all for the quick response!

Always happy to help! One article I did find gave a good overview of this new kernel patching was http://www.pl-enthusiast.net/2015/04/14/dynamic-software-updating/ Could be a good read :) Dan
