And, i doubt that it would ever go into kernfs (and hope not, as
well).

Think about what it would require to do this.

You'd do it one of two ways:
	(1) keep some type of pointer (symlink, vnode reference,
	    whatever) around to the kernel,
	(2) keep a virgin copy of the whole kernel in core.

Think about the completely nasty hacks that would be required to do
_either_, and also realize that you can't even _do_ the former
reliably (because the kernel may not exist on any disk you have access
to!).
