Linux loadable kernel modules are on of the most important innovations in the Linux kernel. They provide a kernel that is both scalable and dynamic. Discover loadable kernels, the ideas behind them, and learn how these independent objects dynamically become part of the Linux kernel.

From the article linked:
Linux is not the only monolithic kernel that can be dynamically altered (and it wasn't the first). You'll find loadable module support in Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) variants, Sun Solaris, in older kernels such as OpenVMS, and other popular operating systems such as Microsoft® Windows® and Apple Mac OS X.
So yes, you're right, it wasn't the first one.
