Please drop the patent topic, it hasn't been relevant for years. If you search the LKML archives for the initial release of Adeos, you will see a thread where that specific topic is cleared up. If still in doubt, do read the actual relevant patent application(s?), you will see that no nanokernel/hyervisor out there fits the described method. Not to mention that hypervisors/nanokernels have been there for decades ... The specific patent that covers dual-kernels does not even attempt to claim it covers the broad world of nanokernels/ hypervisors.
Hope this clears this bit, and please don't drag this further. That particular topic has been debated more than enough, and I've said what I had to say about it many times already. From that point of view, I fully agree with you that there's no need to waste people's time further.
With that said, let's go back to talking about the actual technical arguments :D
