Since I'm not a kernel developper, I'm afraid I have no answers to your questions. I just saw this as a end-user: I'd like the OS to unload/reload (for example) my sound card driver if it does not work anymore, it'd be cool. I don't know how it could be done, I don't know if it is possible ... That's just an idea, and maybe it's not a good one.
