Right now, zero.  Zilch.   Because the capability does not exist, 
because there is no call for it, because it's hard, because nobody sees 
the value of it, any number of other reasons.

> Someone developing drivers would benefit greatly from such.

Why unloading and reloading drivers and execlets?  That'd be for online 
software updates, among other uses.

> Someone running a production system would most likely never be doing that.

Some will not.  Some — those who need the update — would be more 
interested, particularly if they do not have to shut down production.
