Are you suggesting that it might be worth it to experiment with making Linux a hybrid (macro/micro) kernel and use io_uring as the transport between separate kernel "daemon" processes, moving forward with the separation by splitting out one subsystem at a time?

If not, could you perhaps outline what you had in mind? Inquiring minds would like to know.
