Sat through a basic presentation on this, and on the surface it seems
reasonably easy to implement at the local level. Distro wide, it will
become an exercise in deployment of patches, as not all things can be
patched. There's also a reasonably insignificant (or so I'm told)
performance penalty that will grow as more things are added to the
kpatch list without a reboot.
