There is a long-standing project that aims to do something like that (
https://github.com/dynup/kpatch), but AFAIK it's not production quality
so far. Personally, I'm sceptical that it will ever be useful except in
very constrained conditions. For one thing, it's not clear that there's
much demand for it.
No, that's not what this is trying to do. Not even close.
This project attempts to implement the ability to patch the running kernel,
in a number of limited situations.
This is nowhere close to loading a brand new kernel and somehow seamlessly
switching to it.
