Similarly, if libC.so is patched, it would be extremely nice for the
system to look at processes that have it mapped, trace those to
SMF-managed services, then tell the administrator the minimum set that
needs to be restarted (or do it automatically, if so configured).

One of the new features coming in patchadd is the use of loopback mounts,
so that if you install a patch that changes something that would break
existing software, it's installed, then the old version is loopback mounted
on top of it until you reboot.
