you might be able to unload a module and load a patched module, but 
when it comes to the kernel, you have no other choice than to reboot

By the way, the process is really fast and painless. I've cvsuped my 
sources and made buildkernel / installkernel last night on my internet 
gateway, and finally rebooted. The reboot was so fast that my computer 
behind this gateway didn't even lose it's IRC session.
