You can't do that with a monolithic kernel but you may be interested in
triing out
Gnu/HURD it's a microkernel where this is done all the time and in
user-space.
You can build a usable system with it running X11,NFS and whatever you
want
and it parallelizes (system-imanent-feature) far better than Linux does.
You may even use it as a distributed OS with dynamic process-migration
some
day (process migration AFAIK is reported to at least work at all).

Difficult. Just get a kernel that's stable and don't think about it for
time.
