No.. don't make that mistake again (like some popular ???OS before..) to put
code for a windowing system into the kernel.. Having drivers around existing
hardware is something suited to go into the kernel, having generic cpu-hogs
in the kernel is a big big no-no, don't forget, the kernel is NON-preemptive
as long as it doesn't explicitly sleep on something...
