And nothing wrong with that. It seems an excelent opportunity to learn lots about every part of the kernel.

I guess there are two things to do here:
(1) analyse the general idea of what you want to achieve, breaking it down in sub-goals which may be achievable
(2) learn about how the kernel works, you may want to go to
http://kernelnewbies.org/
I won't have time to put in a project as huge and difficult as upgrading the kernel "live", but I'll be around to try and teach people about how the kernel works.
