The idea to integrate Python and Zope into the Linux kernel is cool. But
only for the purpose
to say "I am a cool geek - I am running Python in my kernel" :-)

Anyway....you would not get a major speedup by integration all the stuff in
the kernel because
it would increase the speed of Zope and Python significantly.
