There’s a design problem here if the driver can’t be self-contained in such a way that it’s possible to roll back the kernel to a known good state.

How so? Preventing roll-backs on software updates is a "security feature" in most cases for better and for worse. Yeah, it would be convenient for tinkerers or in rare events such as these, but would be a security issue in the 99,9..99% of the time for enterprise users where security is the main concern.

I don't really understand this, many Linux distributions like Universal Blue advertise rollbacks as a feature. How is preventing a roll-back a "security feature"?
