Hi Michal,
The problem we're trying to solve is rebootless updates of modules
that aren't loaded. While the Ksplice Uptrack software will update a
loaded module in memory, it also needs to update modules on disk so
that a later invocation of "modprobe" will find the updated code.
However, if you reboot the system, you want to revert to the modules
that came with the original kernel. The updated modules might, for
example, rely on a symbol that wasn't exported by the original kernel.
Ah, I can see the problem you are trying to solve now. I initially
thought you are providing those special ksplice modules in the alternate
tree (which are installed by custom tools anyway, thus could be handled
by a custom depmod & modprobe invocation).
