Hum, did your highly placed source indicate whether the x-kernel
support would run in the kernel or in user-space as another server?
It seems that would make a big difference in terms of any significant
speed-up, since a major win of the x-kernel is that it avoids context
switches when moving from user-space to the kernel and vice versa.

Does anyone have any further info about this?
