Right. It's called a "microkernel", btw. :-) I'm not making this stuff
up myself, just so ya know.

It's also how the Amiga worked, except the Amiga had no memory

It's also how the Ameoba OS works, except that the Ameoba generally
winds up sending things over the LAN instead of thru memory, but that
would be pretty easy to change.
