Are there real problems with this idea?  Because, it seems to me, that
implementing something like this would allow us to do reboot-less kernel
upgrades, and neato instant-on features.

In short, this idea is plain stupid.


Longer answer: If you want to upgrade the kernel while keeping all your programs at the current state then you not only have to record all the kernel data (besides the user memory) but because a different kernel for sure has different data structures you have to find a way to convert your old ones to the new ones which is basically impossible.
