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.

Although, I do agree, I'm looking foward to that day!
