Issues when both kernel and kernel module are updated within the same boot

[JonnyHaystack]

This hook does stop kernel updates from breaking everything, but if the kernel and a module e.g. nvidia are both updated in the same boot, the nvidia driver seems to stop working (can't start any new processes that use GPU acceleration, e.g. Alacritty). I'm not 100% sure of the exact circumstances that cause this to happen.

This also happens if you updated the kernel then you try to install a new kernel module. The other week I had a kernel update, then later I installed the wireguard module, but I could not load it with modprobe. This seems to be because it installs the module only in the new kernel, but not for the currently running kernel. When I installed wireguard-dkms instead, it installed it for both the running kernel and the new kernel, so I was able to load it.

Is there anything that can be done about this problem?

afaik this already breaks if only the nvidia package is upgraded (more than only pkgrel)
some files (haven’t bothered to find out which yet) from that seem to be required for the module to continue to function properly

so, basically, this is a rather separate issue (although i’d like to have a nice solution for that as well)
