I can't think of an easy way to do it.  The insmod mechanism and gdb support 
are pretty disconnected from each other.  I don't even have any hooks into the 
module mechanism.  That's completely in the generic kernel.

gdb is pretty programmable.  It shouldn't be too hard to come up with macros 
that do the loading and reloading with one command.

Sure.  Stuff like that beats fixing bugs any time.  Except it will probably be 
a "don't stop" option, since I think the common case is to set breakpoints and 
stuff there.  It also mimics the usual process-level gdb behavior which 
doesn't automatically run the process by default.
