1. Apache can run in the Kernel now, on the theory that it knows what 
its doing and won't fuck up.  That's all I'm really saying.

2. Fixed function devices: just as we have cryptography coprocessors or 
graphics coprocessors, it seems we could make any arbitrary server 
process into a specialized device which would "do one thing and do it 
well."

Usually this approach breaks down once you start to work with today's 
generation of hardware, which is where the "whoa, pass me the bong hit" 
stuff comes in.  I'd just tear up everything and make the hardware guys 
start over so we don't end up with "sucky ram, and great ram, but you 
can't have much of it" :-)
