Every so often there is bug in the kernel, by patching the

What do I do the next time I need to do something like this?
Nothing.
You have to understand that the kernel developers don't want to add support for doing
things the "wrong way", even if the "wrong way" is more convenient for YOU. In the long
wrong, the "wrong way" will cause more trouble than it saves.
Fixing kernels bugs without rebooting the computer is not something that the kernel
developers want to support. Besides, that sounds like a ridiculous thing to do, anyway.
I don't see how anyone can reasonably expect any OS to handle that.
