Intel Seamless Update: Intel preparing for system firmware updates without the reboot

Intel Seamless Update" is a forthcoming feature for Intel platforms seemingly first being exposed by their new Linux kernel patches working on the functionality... Intel is working on being able to carry out system firmware updates such as UEFI updates but doing so at run-time and being able to avoid the reboot in the process.

Pretty cool, but sadly, it's only for enterprise machines and upcoming Xeon processors.
