I would assume any SMU impacts traffic and requires a reboot or a line card reset.  There are types of SMUs that touch 
low level parts and require a reboot, in which case I’ve often told Cisco they should just rev the release number.

Solving SMU dependencies is sometimes impossible.  Right now the 5.3.3 SMU set posted on CCO can’t be installed with 
any of their automation/tools.  We are waiting for Cisco to provide a fix.  I’m not holding my breath.
