Interesting paper on breaking down OS-abstractions

Hi Genodians,

Today I came across this paper[1] on the slowdown from POSIX and other 
kernel abstractions. It offers the notion of a parakernel to break down 
the monolithic kernel and take kernel abstractions out of the data path.

It seems that Genode, although not a parakernel, is quite well adapted 
to this. Not by accident, I think ;-)



It's discussed at [2]
