I'm also a big fan of "Do that crap outside the kernel until it works properly" type projects. If you want to talk about real-time scheduling as an example... looks at the trouble it's causing now. I think it makes my point for me very strongly.
The Linux view should not be that N-way boxes are its manifest destiny. The same goes for thousands of threads. Linux works pretty well on 95% of the boxes that it is being run on. Lets not screw that up to fix the other 5%. Try some fixes _outside_ the main kernel for a while, find a workable solution and then merge it in.
The Linux bus is getting really top-heavy because of some macho-features.
