I should mention that kexec while possible to implement, requires a 
program and libraries to run it and the kernel has to have kexec built 
in. I do not believe this is even planned for IPCop.

It's difficult to say whether being able to have the machine running 
while updating a kernel and then starting the new kernel and shutting 
down the old one is worth the effort. It would really only make sense to 
include the kexec libraries and programs in the update package itself 
since that is the only time needed and only during kernel upgrades at 
that. No sense cluttering the system.
