How practical would it be for a rump kernel to chain load another rump kernel?

i.e. kernel A loads, fetches kernel B and kernel B loads and runs its main

Loading the entire kernel is not practical. However, you can load drivers dynamically at runtime easily, at least FSVO "easily", i.e. support for runtime linking is there. That's what I'm *guessing* what are asking about.
