Will this dynamic loading perform better than the excuse that Solamis
uses (especially on the SPARC)?

Will we still have the option of statically configuring/loading
a kernel?

[If we don't wish to repel users, one or both questions need to be
 answered with a definite "yes".  Preferably both of them.]
