Optimizing Linux with cheap flash drives

Perhaps a Java class stored on the storage card. It could implement some well-defined interface type and its constructor could take some parameters for things like a hardware interface class, memory buffer, debug logger and a few other things.

It could run from userspace with the right interface class. Or from the kernel if someone wrote a simplified Java interpreter or maybe a module compiler.

I suppose instead of Java it could be written in whatever VM it is that ACPI uses. Kernels already have interpreters for that.

It could be fairly nifty.
