I know some people "binary patch" AMD kernels for BFI and stuff but I always thought they actually patch IL code in an ELF binary file and then load that. This will of course be a lot faster than actually recompiling so it might be a better alternative (of course vendor dependant, but I think that currently goes for any method).
I bet Milen would know for sure how to proceed.
