summary

Introduces the anykernel idea (letting drivers run in monolithic, microkernel, exokernel styles as a runtime choice) and rump kernels, a lightweight virtualized driver execution environment with millisecond bootstrap and small memory footprint. Describes a production-quality NetBSD 6 implementation, use cases like isolating drivers into on-demand servers and reusing drivers as libraries, recent tooling to build rump kernels for non-NetBSD platforms, and a demo compiling the NetBSD FFS driver to JavaScript to run inside a browser-hosted rump kernel.
